The EcoLit Research Group and the Oslo School of Environmental Humanities (OSEH) invite you to an International Symposium to illustrate how literary and cultural studies can make important contributions and interventions in relation to environmental problems and aspirations. Join us for this exciting line-up of lectures, a roundtable discussion, and more.
We invite to a conversation on the role of education in creating alternative environmental futures. Tim Ingold (University of Aberdeen) will hold a public lecture at Kulturhuset on "Reason and Response-ability", followed by a panel discussion with Mette Halskov Hansen (UiO), Britt Kramvig (UiT), Felix Riede (Aarhus University) and Heather Swanson (Aarhus University). Moderated by Gro Birgit Birgit Ween (Museum of Cultural History, UiO).
We invite you to our Environmental Humanities Festival where we celebrate the exciting work happening in the field here at UiO, in Norway, and beyond. The day will start with a keynote lecture by Jamie Lorimer, University of Oxford, followed by presentations by the OSEH Collaboratories, a pop-up exhibition, film screenings, a "green" choir performance, and more.
A turn is underway in the probiotic approaches. Recalibrating modern antibiotic approaches and heading off their unintended consequences, the probiotic uses life to manage life, connecting the microbial with the planetary. This keynote lecture given by Jamie Lorimer gives critical insight into these interventions and their implications, and is part of OSEH's environmental humanities festival on the 10th of June.
Many of a forest's vital processes happen beneath the soil, out of sight. However, their are clues to the clandestine collaborations between fungi and plants and animals. In this walkshop, natural historian and environmental photographer Alison Pouliot, takes us deep into the forest to discover its diversity, explore ideas and rethink fungus-forest lives.
How do we maintain or restore the diverse functions and processes in soil that foster soil resilience and provide a buffer against climate-change induced changes? In this highly interactive and sensory workshop, natural historian and environmental photographer Dr. Alison Pouliot, provide an overview of the vital significance of fungi in soils.
Welcome to an exhibition with presentations, installations and performances by students of the Environmental Humanities and Sciences Honours Certificate!
Join us online for the Bionic Natures x Digital Ecologies workshop on Friday April 21st!
This panel explores how transdisciplinary artistic practice, history and theory can contribute to the environmental humanities through aesthetic modes of visualization of planetary information. What is the visual art’s role and contribution to new perspectives for the environmental humanities?
What is an artistic intervention in environmental humanities? What can art offer as a site for exploration? In this panel, performative artists, museologists and film makers discuss uses of art, objects, and the making of an issue.
These papers explore examples of environmental storytelling, and asks what environmental storytelling can do. How does such initiatives tap into our imaginaries, or offer re-imaginations?
This panel approaches interdisciplinarity from a broad range of perspectives, including environmental governance, climate politics, botanics, cybernetics, and science history. Are there commonalities in how we engage interdisciplinarity, and how do we consider its methodological challenges?
In this session, we invite participants working across environmental humanities and other disciplines to reflect on their experiences of ‘soiling’ different areas of research. What happens when soils are brought into the research arena as agential, as consequential? How can healthy soil become not only a metaphor but a driver for transdisciplinary action for social change?
This panel brings together junior researchers working in different parts of the globe and on diverse maritime issues, with the aim to discuss new interactions and underappreciated entanglements between humans and non-human inhabitants of the ocean.
Academics are looking for possible combinations of methodological interventions which could be helpful in devising solutions and strategies for survival and healing in the global environmental crisis. In this panel the researchers will share their paths towards combining, extending and shifting their research methods. Through the discussion, the presenters of the panel are looking for new methodological possibilities for facing the unknown known.
Plants co-shape the places in which they dwell, and the lives and desires of those dependent upon them. This panel discusses literary explorations of cultural, material, and spiritual human-plant relations in localities within Japan, Scandinavia, and Australia.
In this panel we ask, how to read science through fiction, and can such readings provide us a way to understand the relationship between literature and environment?
What are some of the potentials and pitfalls of transdisciplinary research? In this keynote lecture Kate Rigby will be drawing on her own more recent experience of the kinds of synergies, surprises and snags that might be encountered along the way, and the sorts of virtues that need to be cultivated to facilitate positive outcomes.
This panel will address long-term aspects of interactions between ecological and material foundations of societies, forms of biological and cultural coexistence, and the interdependence of people and the non-human world, specifically in the shores and oceans of the world, through the lens of the arts and the humanities, aiming at pluralizing and un-disciplining the established paradigms of marine science and conservation.
In this keynote by Dolly Jørgensen, she argues for the need to recognize and discuss three different types of transdisciplinary research in the humanities: the many, the one, and the collective.
In this panel, six doctoral scholars from varied disciplines present their research and discuss how generating oceanic knowledge for action requires transdisciplinary engagement.
The Oslo School of Environmental Humanities started in spring 2019 with the aim of facilitating and strengthening humanistic research on the environmental crisis that crosses disciplines and creatively respond to the environmental and social challenges of our time. Here is a recap of the first 12 months of OSEH and the initiative's activities.
