"Commoning Life in a Polarised World: Multispecies Perspectives on Conservation, Subsistence, and Repair"

MESH Branching Out Panel at EASA2026 conference. How can multispecies practices of commoning - beyond oppositions of conservation, subsistence, stewardship and use - sustain shared worlds? Exploring these practices amid intensifying political and ecological polarisation, we discuss possibilities for coexistence and repair in a fractured world.

MESH Cross Pollinator Series: "Diverse research methods on changing human-environment relations"

"Diverse research methods on changing human-environment relations" The humanities encapsulate a diverse range of methods for researching past and present human-environment relations. Each subject area - be it Literary studies, Art, Archaeology, History, Social Anthropology, or Linguistics - contributes valuable yet wildly different methodological tool kits, which we will explore through this Cross-Pollinator.

Camila Bustos (Pace University, USA) 31 March 2026 - 12:00-13:00. At the University of Cologne. Laws are moving away from seeing nature as just a "resource" for humans and instead recognising it as a subject with its own legal rights. Recognising the rights of nature is powerful, but it requires a solid legal roadmap to truly protect our planet and its people. This edition of the GSSC Seminar Series with Camila Bustos digs into this in detail.
