Circulated on behalf of Tobias Skiveren
13 – 14 October 2022
Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies, Denmark
Organisers: Iwona Janicka & Tobias Skiveren
The interdisciplinary conference aims to examine various sensations generated by natural environments in an era of climate change. It intends to explore how ecological mutation reconfigures the way we feel, sense, desire and what long term effects these changes have on mental health of individuals and communities. How do we sustain ourselves, mentally and emotionally, when our environments are destroyed? How do we compose more-than-human collectives that provide favourable conditions not only for survival but also for thriving for humans and nonhumans alike?
