EUC-CEH Research Seminar Series 2025-26 

This online seminar series explores leading edge research in the interdisciplinary  Environmental Humanities (EH) by bringing together faculty members, early career researchers, and PhD students from York University and the University of Bristol for a series of online discussions about concerns of interest to both institutions and to the larger, global EH community. 

In recent years, EH scholarship has focused increasingly on the world as a more-than-human  assemblage of agencies, considering diverse forms of life and nonlife – animals, plants, fungi,  microorganisms, viruses, minerals, soils, waters, and matter more generally – as collectively shaping past, present, and future ecopolitical relations. Drawing on methodologically innovative and interdisciplinary practices – including especially arts-based research – this seminar series highlight the synergies between EUC and CEH both to demonstrate the exciting work currently underway at both institutions in more-than-human EH research and to create ongoing collaborative relations between them.
