Accepted Contribution:
Anthropogenic soils: collaborative environmental humanities of soil recuperation
Ursula Münster
(University of Oslo)
Environmental Humanities scholars experiment with new forms of collaboration for studying the Anthropocene. What does the field offer for studying anthropogenic soils, and emerging practices and ideas of repairing contaminated, toxic, and depleted soils in different parts of the globe?
Contribution long abstract:
Environmental Humanities scholars experiment with creative forms of collaboration for studying anthropogenic landscapes and sites. What do the environmental humanities have to contribute for studying the repair of soils after contamination and depletion though toxic substances, radioactivity, or post- Green Revolution agriculture?
How can scholars work together across the sciences, humanities and arts, to find ways of recuperating soils that are eroded, toxic or radioactive. What forms of collaboration are needed beyond the university to make an impact? How to meaningfully include activists, artists and the wider public?
