One-day work­shop, col­lab­o­ra­tive­ly host­ed between col­leagues at UCL Anthro­pol­o­gy and the Insti­tute for Glob­al Health and sup­port­ed by UCL Anthropocene

In this one-day work­shop, col­lab­o­ra­tive­ly host­ed between col­leagues at UCL Anthro­pol­o­gy and the Insti­tute for Glob­al Health and sup­port­ed by UCL Anthro­pocene, we plan to bring togeth­er inter­dis­ci­pli­nary ECRs (PhD, post­doc, junior schol­ars) who share an inter­est in (human and non-human) bod­ies and health in the age of the Anthro­pocene. On the day we will enjoy expert keynote and guest speak­ers, a read­ing group, and net­work­ing opportunities.
If you are an ECR with an inter­est in bioso­cial-med­ical respons­es to the cli­mate emer­gency or in health relat­ing it direct­ly or indi­rect­ly with the Anthro­pocene, we invite your par­tic­i­pa­tion in this one-day event. We are able to offer trav­el stipends from the UK or Europe, on a com­pet­i­tive basis.

Please send a short bio (max. 100 words) and research state­ment out­lin­ing your work of rel­e­vance (max. 300 words) to Maria Paula Prates (maria.prates@ucl.ac.uk) and to Rebec­ca Irons (Rebecca.irons@ucl.ac.uk), with the email sub­ject ‘BODIES AFTER COP26’ before the dead­line of 6th June 2022. If you wish to apply for a trav­el stipend, please indi­cate this in your email.
