On August 5\u20137, we host Streaming STREAMS<\/em> \u2013 a series of online conversations and presentations about the Environmental Humanities (EH). These sessions will function as an introductory event for the upcoming STREAMS-conference (Stockholm, August 3\u20137, 2021).<\/p>\n

The three-day event has the ambition to initiate conversations to be continued, open a space for many other contributions to be hosted during this next months, build a community of academics, artists and activists addressing the environmental crisis to be gathered in real life.<\/p>\n

Our Programme<\/strong><\/p>\n

We took up the challenge of envisioning diverse and easy-to-follow formats and adjusting academic and less academic contents to the WWW and we came up with a manifold programme consisting of three sessions per day.<\/p>\n

Each day begins with an interview between an early career and a distinguished scholar exploring specific realms of expertise within the EH, namely postcolonial studies, ecocriticism and environmental justice. Then, a hands-on roundtable will give a taste of the selected panels for the conference and present innovative approaches and themes in use. Finally, we will dedicate the conclusive daily session to a self-reflexive and inclusive forum discussion in which an invited speaker will share her\/his\/their experience in facing every-day scholarly challenges.<\/p>\n

On August 5<\/strong> we will meet\u00a0Dipesh Chakrabarty<\/strong><\/a>, historian and professor at the University of Chicago. Moving from his wide-ranging scholarship, the interview will explore crucial conceptual knots of the EH and will pay particular attention to potential future developments of the field.<\/p>\n

The stream\u00a0Approaching Time-Things<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0will put the question of time at the forefront, both as analytical lens and object of inquiry: \u201cis time that hard to grasp?<\/strong><\/a>\u201d Finally, the forum discussion with Greta Gaard, ecofeminist scholar, will explore narratives of the COVID-19 Pandemic<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The stream\u00a0Feminist Posthumanities<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0will present their trailer “The Posthumanities Hub, submerged at ART LAB GNESTA<\/strong><\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Our forum discussion will engage with publication venues. Together with Dolly J\u00f8rgensen, historian of the environment and technology and co-editor of the open-access journal\u00a0Environmental Humanities,<\/em> we will see\u00a0how journals are part of remaking scholarly fields<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

STREAMS<\/strong>\u00a0is an international conference for the Environmental\u00a0Humanities (EH) that gathers researchers from a wide range of\u00a0academic disciplines as well as artists, activists and practitioners. EH\u00a0has grown considerably during the last decade and STREAMS seeks to\u00a0offer a space in which this experimental and dynamic field can meet,\u00a0discuss and set out future directions for thinking and acting amidst the\u00a0ongoing ecological disaster.<\/p>\n

STREAMS is hosted by the\u00a0KTH Environmental Humanities Laboratory (EHL<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Conveners, organisers and participants to STREAMS remain committed to inclusivity with regard to race, ethnicity, gender, gender expression and identity, sexual orientation, and physical abilities in terms topics discussed at their conference.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
