On 27 June 2025, the Network for Environmental Humanities (NEH) celebrates the pioneering, socially engaged research being conducted by our junior scholars in the humanities with the Symposium ‘Bracing for imapct: Junior scholars on the Anthropocene’. The topics relate various issues related to the Anthropocene – the overlapping climate, environmental and biodiversity crises.
The NEH has invited Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Research Master’s students in a broad range of disciplines to reflect on their role as researchers and change makers – from Literary Studies to Philosophy, Gender Studies and Human Geography.,p>
For three thematic panels, presenters have been challenged to develop a five-minute pitch, explaining their research and the impact they seek to have. These pitches will be followed by critical questions and supportive feedback from the expert panellists and a Q&A with the audience.
The event is freely accessible to those interested.
