Panel proposed at the 2023 ASLE + AESS Conference: “Reclaiming the Commons”

July 9-12, 2023 in Portland, Oregon

We seek presentations on current projects that utilize the arts and humanities to engage communities around environmental issues. We take inspiration from projects such as the Humanities for the Environment Observatories, the Freshwater Lab at the University of Illinois – Chicago, the Penn Program for the Environmental Humanities, and other publicly engaged collaborative projects that address questions of environmental justice, ecological sustainability, and civic education. We wish to feature a number of initiatives that speak to Joni Adamson’s call to “catalyze imagining of new ideas, narratives, frameworks, alternatives, demands, and projects that will enable people to envision plausibly different, even livable, futures.” (“The HfE Proejct and Beyond: New Constellations of Practice in the Environmental and Digital Humanities” Resilience 5.2 [2018]: 1-20, 1).

Submit abstracts by December 1, 2022 to eric-gidal@uiowa.edu
