Interdisciplinary conference

This interdisciplinary conference will examine the complex relationship between war and the environment in the context of conflict.

Contributions relating to other eras and from the natural sciences that open thematic, methodological, or theoretical connections to the topic are expressly welcome.

In Panel 5 on the connection between findings from the natural sciences and literary studies, there is the option of a short keynote presentation (10 minutes) or the presentation of an interdisciplinary project (10 minutes).
