The aim of the EnJust Workshop is to promote the exchange between science, civil society and practitioners on questions of environmental justice. The workshop focuses on narratives and practices of environmental (in)justice with the objective to overcome  disciplinary, one-dimensional views on the environmental crisis. The meeting will take place from 06 – 08 June 2019 at the Wissenschaftszentrum of the University of Kiel. The program consists of five topics with a total of 35 presentations.

EnJust is a transdisciplinary network that raises questions of environmental justice and seeks to strengthen the democratic participation of those affected by the multiple dimensions of the environmental crisis.

Social Transformation through Climate Change Adaptation?

Book Presentation and Panel Discussion

During the last decades climate change adaptation has become a growing necessity and a much-debated topic worldwide. Especially in the field of North-South relations and international development adaptation politics and projects are often controversial and challenge the status quo. On the evening of the 1^st of November, we will discuss at Hansa48 how far these interventions have a transformative potential or if they are just
fortifying the power of elites and deepen inequalities.
We have invited authors of the book “A Critical Approach to Climate Change
Adaptation. Discourses, Policies and Practices” from Mexico, Venezuela and Germany. After a short presentation of the book by Florian Dünckmann (CAU Kiel) we will open the floor for a round table discussion with Libertad Chavez-Rodriguez (CIESAS Mexico), Daniel Morchain (Oxfam UK), Sybille Bauriedl (Uni Flensburg) and Jonas Hein (CAU Kiel).

Social Transformation through Climate change Adaptation?

Workshop Invitation

Loss & Hope: Contemporary debates in Environmental Anthropology

Diagnoses of environmental loss – i.e. loss of bio-diversity and extinction of species, of soil and crop nutrients, loss through sea-level rise, the pollution of oceans and waterways, or the penetration of living forms by industrially produced chemical compounds inform much scholarly debate. This networking meeting for researchers focusing on environmental anthropology takes a productive tension between such recent diagnoses of loss and persistent hopes in betterment as starting point to open up our discussions: What does taking loss in relation to the environment seriously imply for anthropologists and how does this relate to projects that try to instill hope? To what extent  are these undertakings desirable or risky? What
affective attachments to hope or loss prevail in our fields of inquiry?

Workshop Invitation

25.09.2018-29.09.2018

World Social Scienc Forum, Fukuoka, Japan

We would like to draw your attention to the following call for papers for our session OP4-01 Transformation in coastal zones: Coping with global change at the World Social Sciences Forum 2018 in Fukuoka, Japan, 25-28 September 2018.

In this panel, we aim to critically explore the assumptions, triggers, catalysts and motivations for transformation in the contexts of coastal realms. We ask whether the concept of transformation is adequate to cope with the complexities of global social and environmental change and innovation, with aspirations for sustainable development set by the 2030 Agenda, but also with issues of power and representation across scale and social positioning as they manifest in coastal areas.

Abstracts may be submitted through the conference website via: http://www.wssf2018.org/call-for-papers.html

Submission deadline for papers is 17 March 2017.
