Convened by: Kasia Mika (QMUL), Nicola Thomas (Lancaster), Jamille Pinheiro Dias (ILCS), Joseph Ford (ILCS)
The Languages and Environments Reading Group explores environments across linguistic and disciplinary boundaries. We meet online, twice termly – and in 2022-23, our theme is: ‘Thinking the End of the World from Around the World'
The organisers warmly welcome all interested in discussing approaches to languages and environments, and the languages of environmental research, including graduate students, early career academics, and activists and practitioners working outside of academia.
