The Green Zone seminar series: Environmental Humanities Fieldwork Methods
Seminar
Date:Wednesday 4 June 2025
Time:10.00 – 12.00
Location:Accelerator
Recently, several Environmental Humanities researchers have asked for a re-tooling of for example, anthropological fieldwork (se Rubber Boots Methods, Feral Atlas etc) and this concerns several of our subject areas. We invite to a round table discussion where seminar participants and students in Environmental Humanities advanced courses/MA programme share ideas and observations. The EH studens will then just be back from fieldwork in Jordbro, south of Stockholm, where they have devised and applied EH methods to a natureculture heritage area. Questions to dwell on is: What fieldwork can give room for more-than-human agencies and how can relational landscape approaches widen our situated knowledges of place?
The seminar is part of the open seminar series within the Master Programme in Environmental Humanities, called "The Green Zone".

Join the Environmental Humanities and Speculative Fiction Reading Group
The reading group will explore places where environmental humanities, archaeology and speculative fiction overlap. During the meetings, the group will read and discuss a range of texts - academic and fictional - and may write their own texts about possible futures. The reading group is open to everyone who would like to join.
