The Environment and Ecology in Islamic Art and Culture - Online symposium

The Environment and Ecology in Islamic Art and Culture

9th Biennial Hamad bin Khalifa Symposium on Islamic Art

Online November 8-15, 2021

https://islamicart.qatar.vcu.edu/

An eco-conscious ethos is intrinsic to Islamic scripture and culture. This sensitivity profoundly influences the relationship between human beings, deputized as stewards of nature by Allah, and the environment they inhabit. Historical and contemporary Islamic visual traditions have demonstrated this consciousness in urban planning, landscape architecture, water management, and many other art forms. Despite this awareness, in the present epoch of the Anthropocene, human intervention has caused irreparable damage to the planet’s biodiversity and ecosystems. As art history shifts its disciplinary attention to the unfolding global crisis, this symposium considers how an ecological art history can examine objects, materials, and the built environment through the lens of Islamic culture. It also seeks to push beyond binaries of human/non-human and culture/nature in which the human and the cultural are privileged over other species and the natural world. Humans, within this ontological framework, are part of the environment and in possession of unique capacities necessary to address climate change, sustainability, and environmental conservation.

 

The Symposium will be held online on Zoom this year, with programming taking place live between November 8 and November 15.  For a daily schedule, please visit the Program page.  This event is free, but registration is required.

ESEH NEXTGATe 2021-2023 call

Call for applications – NEXTGATe 2021-2023

The Board of the European Society for Environmental History is seeking applications from doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers to join the 2021-2023 cohort of the Next Generation Action Team (NEXTGATe).

NEXTGATe aims to strengthen the presence and influence of early career scholars in the environmental history field in Europe and beyond, and to offer a space for frank, open discussions and collaboration among this group of environmental historians.

The work of the newly appointed cohort will build upon previous discussions on professional and financial uncertainty, the lack of visibility of the field in specific geographical contexts, and an inadequate professional network.

For the most recent report of the NEXTGATe team, see Biasillo R., Hameeteman E., Kochetkova E., Ujházy N., Palma M., Schleper S., Wickberg A., Early-Career Environmental Historians for a Sustainable Academia, Environment and History 2018. Vol. 24. No. 4. p. 579-581; and the first collective report, Pál V., Biasillo R., Kochetkova E., Meredith T., Schleper S., Spinney E., Emerging Scholars in the Age of Uncertainty: Goals and Plans of ESEH Next Generation Action Team in 2018–19, Environment and History 2018. Vol. 24. No. 4. p. 579-581.

Successful applicants will collaborate with NEXTGATe Coordinator Noémi Ujházy and team members Monique Palma and Elizabeth Hameeteman in continuing outreach activities that target early career scholars (e.g. writing group, dissertation database, blog on Sustainable Academia), and in developing new ones in the lead-up to the 2022 ESEH Conference that will be held in Bristol next summer.

 We encourage the application of early career scholars from diverse backgrounds in order for NEXTGATe to reflect the geographically dispersed and multifaceted nature of the environmental history field at large.

Depending on the strength of applications, up to two new NEXTGATe members will be selected by the selection committee. Successful candidates who fill their tenure with NEXTGATe receive a travel grant to participate in the 2022 ESEH Conference in Bristol.

How To Apply

To apply, please send the following documents to Noémi Ujházy (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. & This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.):

Curriculum Vitae;

A short text describing the goals that you think NEXTGATe should tackle in 2021-2023 and how you could contribute to these activities (max. 500 words).

Application deadline: October 15, 2021.
