(Image: Luise Stark / Uni Würzburg) The Chair of European Ethnology of Professor Michaela Fenske invites you to an international conference on Environmental Humanities research at the beginning of August. How do people tell stories about the extinction of species and climate change, how about social crises? What role do non-human creatures play in these narratives? And: What stories about hope and expectations for the future do we share? These are the questions that the international conference "Narrating the Multispecies World" at the University of Würzburg (JMU) will address from 3 to 5 August. It is being organized by Professor Michaela Fenske's Chair of European Ethnology. Over the course of three days, there will be almost 15 contributions from cultural and social science environmental research. "We want to show the ways in which people tell each other about our changing world," explains Fenske.
