Environmental Humanities is a transdisciplinary research group at the Department of Communication and Arts at Roskilde University.

We are interested in relationships between people and their environments, ideas about “nature”, and how climate change relates to society and culture, in pasts, presents and possible futures.

Working from a pluralist approach to knowledge creation, we engage with various knowledge disciplines and practices. We aspire to be an inclusive and inspiring space for sharing new ideas and work-in progress, and welcome new and aspiring researchers. Key themes in our conversations include:

· Cosmologies and ecologies, including indigenous knowledges, with a focus on more-than human life-worlds and global inequalities in the context of climate change.

· Temporalities - related to questions like speed and slowness, rhythms, emergency, future imaginaries, for instance in relation to climate change, pollution, extinction and alternative cultures.

· Ideas about “the Anthropocene”, “nature” and “culture”, and how these have changed over time and across fields and debates.

· Environments and landscapes - for instance, in relation to social and cultural practices and norms, and in relation to the study of environmental philosophy and aesthetics.

· Climate communication and publics – for instance, how climate change is communicated and how it shapes publics and decision-making.

· Activisms, climate events, utopias and dystopias - in relation to worldmaking practices, prefigurative politics and (re)imagining planetary futures. This also includes slow and mundane practices of more-than human care and response-ability.
