[SOA] CFP: "Living with Climate Change: Perspectives from the Humanities and Beyond"

[Anne Salsich]

Climate change has become a pervasive topic in the collective social and
scientific imagination. There is no question that climate is now a part of
our daily lives, from media images depicting the destruction caused by
extreme weather conditions to news stories detailing the rapid depletion of
natural resources to op-eds warning of the dangers of pollution on human
health. While the impact of climate change has generated numerous
scientific studies and advancements, it has also influenced work across the
arts and humanities, inspiring new questions, analytics, and approaches for
considering the relationship between humans and the natural world.

Inspired by its 2022 exhibition *Becoming Weatherwise: A History of Climate
Science in America, *the American Philosophical Society’s Library & Museum
will host an international conference that brings together scholars from
all disciplines and policy makers to explore the effects of climate change
on all aspects of life. The conference will be held in-person at the
Society in Philadelphia and begin with an opening keynote conversation on
Thursday, September 29, 2022. The conference will continue on Friday,
September 30, 2022, with a full day of presentations and discussion.

The program committee invites innovative paper proposals from scholars in
all fields whose work explores the topic of climate change from a
humanities perspective.

Potential topics include (but are not limited to):

   - The social, cultural, political, religious, and economic impacts of
   climate change;
   - The impact of climate change on law, governance, and policy;
   - The differential impact of climate change across regions, populations,
   and communities;
   - The emergence of new modes of scholarship in relation to climate
   change (i.e. ecocriticism, plant and animal studies, disaster studies,
   environmental humanities, medical humanities, etc.);
   - Literary, media, and artistic responses to climate change over time;
   - The opportunities and challenges faced by cultural heritage
   institutions, libraries, and archives in addressing climate change;
   - The impact of climate change on public history and pedagogy;
   - The role of climate change in promoting social justice.

Applicants should submit a title and a 250-word proposal along with a C.V.
