Building bridges: Queer and feminist approaches to interdisciplinarity

To support effective responses to spatial and environmental injustice there is a need for interdisciplinary research that bridges the gaps between critical social theory and the Earth/Environmental sciences. In this series of events, funded by the Gender Research Network, we consider how queer and feminist theories, methods and approaches offer new points of entry for such interdisciplinary dialogues. 

Join us for any/all of the following:

Weds 18th June, 4-5pm (room A09a): Reading group - Queer Environmentalisms - reading Vanesa Castan Broto and Guido Caniglia’s work. 

Thursday 19th June, 10.30am-12.00pm (Ron Johnston & Online): Keynote presentation: “Queering collaboration, or what queer theory has to do with interdisciplinary research” by Guido Caniglia (see abstract and bio) 

Thursday 19th June, 1.30-3.30pm (Ron Johnston): ‘Keywords for (interdisciplinary) collaboration’: A workshop led by panelists who have used creative approaches/methods to facilitate interdisciplinary scholarship.
