CALL FOR PAPERS

Pan­el: “Cli­mate change, island change, and well­be­ing in small island communities”

Sur­round­ed by sea, islands have long been seen as remote and iso­lat­ed by neces­si­ty, though island life in prac­tice involves move­ment both out of and back towards the island (Kohn, 2006; Nic Craith, 2020). With­out enough atten­tion being paid to the needs of island com­mu­ni­ties in deci­sion- and pol­i­cy-mak­ing affect­ing them, islands are also fre­quent­ly asso­ci­at­ed with vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty (Kot­sira, 2021), among oth­ers rais­ing con­cerns about their sus­tain­abil­i­ty and resilience (Rat­ter, 2017). If island life is already chal­leng­ing as such, what is the fur­ther impact of cli­mate change and cli­mate-induced dis­as­ters on the men­tal health and well­be­ing of islanders, par­tic­u­lar­ly in small island communities?

This pan­el invites papers dis­cussing ethno­graph­ic exam­ples and pri­ma­ry research cov­er­ing aspects such as:

‑Local under­stand­ings of men­tal health and well­be­ing, and whether/how they are impact­ed by the cli­mate cri­sis and the ways islanders respond to chang­ing circumstances.
Access to men­tal health ser­vices and ser­vice gaps to be addressed so small island pop­u­la­tions fac­ing the by-prod­ucts of cli­mate change are supported.
‑How pre­con­cep­tions of remote­ness and iso­la­tion, vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty, sus­tain­abil­i­ty and resilience are chal­lenged by the cir­cum­stances cre­at­ed by the cli­mate crisis
local­ly, and their impact on men­tal health and wellbeing.
‑The role of cli­mate change in con­cep­tu­al­i­sa­tions of the future on/of small islands, feel­ings of uncer­tain­ty, and their impact on islanders’ men­tal health and
wellbeing.
‑How the men­tal health and well­be­ing of researchers are affect­ed while doing research on small islands impact­ed by the cli­mate cri­sis, includ­ing cop­ing mech­a­nisms and
research strategies.

Health, Environment, and Anthropology

Kon­ferenz

In Per­son Con­fer­ence at Durham Uni­ver­si­ty Uni­ver­si­ty, UK

Health, Envi­ron­ment, and Anthropology
23–24 April 2025
Durham University

As the world is get­ting fuller, faster, hot­ter, and sick­er, HEAT asks how can anthro­pol­o­gists con­tribute to unfold­ing debates around health and envi­ron­ment on a chang­ing and unequal plan­et? In what ways can med­ical and envi­ron­men­tal anthro­pol­o­gy work togeth­er and with oth­er dis­ci­plines, com­mu­ni­ties, and stake­hold­ers to help sup­port the devel­op­ment of knowl­edge and resources for respond­ing to envi­ron­men­tal destruc­tion and glob­al heating?

As envi­ron­men­tal and cli­mate trans­form soci­eties and ecolo­gies around the world, it is imper­a­tive that anthro­pol­o­gists con­tin­ue to seek new ways of think­ing and speak­ing among them­selves and with oth­ers about the rela­tion­ships among humans, oth­er-than-humans, the envi­ron­ment, and the plan­et. By exam­in­ing the intri­cate web of inter­de­pen­den­cies between soci­eties, ecosys­tems, and envi­ron­men­tal process­es, anthro­pol­o­gists have an impor­tant role to play in under­stand­ing and address­ing the com­plex chal­lenges faced by our planet.

Pan­el pro­pos­als are invit­ed in the fol­low­ing and relat­ed areas:

  • Chang­ing pat­terns and pro­files of health, ill­ness, and dis­ease in response to envi­ron­men­tal and cli­mate change
  • Chang­ing human and more-than-human entan­gle­ments in rela­tion to envi­ron­men­tal and cli­mate change
  • Social move­ments and new forms of social­i­ty aris­ing from con­cerns about plan­e­tary health
  • Envi­ron­men­tal jus­tice, inequal­i­ty, and mar­gin­al­ized communities
  • Demo­graph­ic anx­i­eties and the effects of migra­tion, dis­place­ment, and armed con­flict in the con­text of chang­ing environments
  • Impacts of cli­mate change on repro­duc­tive health and rights
  • Diverse eco­log­i­cal knowl­edges and indige­nous per­spec­tives on plan­e­tary health
  • Sus­tain­able food sys­tems, agri­cul­ture, and nutrition
  • Urban­iza­tion, glob­al­iza­tion, and the trans­for­ma­tion of human-envi­ron­ment relationships
  • Health impacts of extrac­tive indus­tries and resource exploitation
  • Eth­i­cal and/or method­olog­i­cal con­sid­er­a­tions in plan­e­tary health research and interventions
  • Pol­i­cy inter­ven­tions and gov­er­nance for plan­e­tary health
  • Tech­no­log­i­cal and design inno­va­tions for improv­ing plan­e­tary health and deal­ing with the health impacts of envi­ron­men­tal destruc­tion and glob­al heating
  • Men­tal health and well­be­ing in the con­text of cli­mate change
  • Inter­dis­ci­pli­nary con­nec­tions, includ­ing engage­ment with the Over­laps and con­tention between the frame­works of Plan­e­tary Health, Glob­al Health, and One Health.

Pan­el pro­pos­als should include a title and 250 word abstract. The dead­line is Sep­tem­ber 2024. A Call for Papers will then follow.
