>> Call for Papers "Estuaries and the Anthropocene" (Deadline: 15. Februar 2021)
Texas A&M University at Galveston invites proposals for a one-day, virtual symposium, Estuaries and the Anthropocene. This event will bring together scholars from across the humanities, social sciences, and STEM fields to explore the multifaceted connections between human societies and estuarine environments during both historical and contemporary time periods. As we daily face the multiplying threats posed by anthropogenic climate and environmental change, coastal communities—like those around Galveston Bay, one of the largest estuaries in the United States—must understand these challenges, dangers, and opportunities in order to adapt to their changing worlds. The conference will take place virtually on May 21, 2021, featuring interdisciplinary panels and will conclude with a keynote address from Prof. Jack E. Davis, the author of The Gulf: The Making of an American Sea and the recipient of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for History.
The symposium invites proposals that consider the intersection of humans and estuaries from any disciplinary background. The multifaceted relationship between human societies and the environment necessitates study from multiple angles. Thus the symposium welcomes participants at all career levels from the humanities, social sciences, and STEM fields. The symposium is also interested in how this relationship resonates beyond the academy and will consider proposals from artists, activists, and anyone else working at the confluence of human societies and estuaries. Given the symposium’s embrace of diverse disciplinary perspectives, we are likewise interested in diverse methods of presentation beyond traditional papers, including, but not limited to, posters, speed talks, and PechaKucha. Research presented at the symposium can embrace a wide array of source bases including archival research, artistic expressions, interviews, biological and social samples, modeling, network analyses, and research designs.
Proposals should be no more than 300 words, indicating the method of presentation, and include a CV. Additionally, the symposium’s proceedings will be considered for publication in an edited collection. Email submissions to symposium organizer Blake Earle, tbe(at)tamug.edu, by February 15, 2021.
