In the coming months and years, the Umwelt Center will host an international conference, produce a peer-reviewed yearbook, appoint an annual post-doctoral fellow, offer funding opportunities for research projects, host guest lecturers, provide stipends for graduate students pursuing internships in Environmental Humanities, and feature a graduate certificate program. The Center will also launch community partnerships to bring together German Studies, Environmental Humanities, and local and global sustainability efforts.
Please consider submitting a paper to the April 2024 Junior Scholars Workshop and be on the lookout for an invitation to the State-of-the-Field Conference planned for April 2025.
