The 'Other' Border: Canada and the United States

The interdisciplinary field of the environmental humanities offers new ways of considering tropical disasters.  Hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis and similar incidents were once thought to be acts of God or isolated natural occurrences.  New eco-critical approaches to the field, however, challenge the separation between human activity and environmental events.  

The term ‘generation’ has played a formative role in literary histories of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries to articulate notions of evolution, rupture, and continuity. Its use is, however, not uncontested and has been the subject of intense scholarly scrutiny in literary studies and cultural memory studies over the last two decades. As Astrid Erll has noted, the concept of ‘generation’ is marked by two dimensions: generationality and genealogy.

Prejudice and Expertise: Discrimination in the West, 1850-2000

University of Warwick — 22-23 March 2018

The first decades of the 21st century have seen the reemergence of prejudice as a factor in European and North American politics and society. Events ranging from the rise of the far-right in France and Germany to Brexit and the election of Donald Trump have been ascribed by a range of commentators to political discontent in part motivated by racial and religious prejudice, misogyny, and xenophobia.
