Dear Colleagues,
I would like to extend to all an invitation to The Future of Wild Europe, a conference to be held at the University of Leeds from 12-14 September, 2016. This interdisciplinary event is aimed at understanding how the meanings and places of ‘the wild’ in Europe have changed over time and what value wild and wilds hold for Europe as a whole, and for European states and citizens/non-citizens individually.
The conference will draw in keynote speakers and discussants from across the environmental humanities and environmental studies, among them Stefania Barca, Elizabeth DeLoughrey, Charles Foster, Marcus Hall, Dolly Jørgensen, Jamie Lorimer, Kate Rigby, as well as closing keynote speakers Jean-Michel Cousteau and Guðni Th. Jóhannesson, the President of Iceland. The full, three-day conference schedule can be found below and at http://enhanceitn.eu/eurwild.
There are still a small number of places available for non-presenting members to attend the conference. We are charging a nominal £10 registration fee for the event, which includes lunches across all three days as well as teas/coffees. If you would like to attend, please sign up by registering online here http://store.leeds.ac.uk/browse/product.asp?compid=1&modid=1&catid=713
We look very much forward to welcoming you to Leeds in September for what will be an exciting several days. If you have any questions about registering, please be in touch with either Roger Norum [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or or George Holmes [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
