Event Details
The aim of the MESH Well project and our Autumn Academy is to address these entanglements through an exploration of multispecies conviviality in urban more-than-human environments, with a view to enhancing planetary wellbeing.
At a time of global biodiversity loss, climate disruption, and environmental degradation, well-being cannot be restricted to humans but must be seen through a planetary perspective, encompassing multispecies conviviality. Grave concerns about multiple ecological ruptures are the source of widespread anxiety and anger, especially among young people.
The Autumn Academy for Planetary Wellbeing builds on the success of the two prior graduate summer schools organised by the Environmental Humanities initiative within EUniWell (EHWell) at Linnaeus University (2022) and the University of Florence (2023).
This successful series continues with a Graduate School linked to the annual MESH Symposium on Multispecies Conviviality in October 2024 and the launch of the UoC BRIDGES Thematic Hub for Planetary Wellbeing. The goal is to create a European community of researchers dedicated to enhancing Planetary (More-than-human) Wellbeing.’
Open call for applications: The Autumn Academy is open to master’s and doctoral students from the 4 participating EUniWell universities (University of Cologne, University of Florence, Nantes Université, and Linnaeus University). The deadline for submission is 31 July 2024.
