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.

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.

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.

What would it mean to tell the stories of trees? How can we represent them in ways that do not rely on problematic forms of ventriloquism, which reinscribe inequalities, and which do not rely on various forms of empathy or sympathy? This talk by Dalia Nassar, Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sydney, aims to outline a theory of representation that aims to respond to these questions in relation to trees.

In this talk, Stuart Earle Strange, assistant professor of anthropology at Yale-NUS College, Singapore, will explore the contradictions between law, sovereignty, animal agency, and the sacred in Singaporean wildlife conservation.
