Submissions invited for #POLLEN2026 for the panel: Colonial histories and climate futures: critical perspectives on vulnerability. We are particularly interested in papers that draw together themes of climate-induced im/mobilities & vulnerabilisation. nomadit.co.uk/conference/p...

Description
This panel brings together theoretical approaches and case studies at the intersection of climate change, human (im)mobility and vulnerability. We aim to critically discuss how colonial and neocolonial systems contribute to geographic, economic, and social inequalities in the context of increasing climate change impacts, thereby making a contribution to both climate justice and political ecology debates. We invite papers which critically examine dominant discourses that ascribe vulnerability to so-called “at-risk” populations and explore alternative epistemologies of survival, resistance and political agency. We are particularly interested in papers that draw together two themes: Climate-induced (im)mobilities, and vulnerabilisation.

Another Call for Papers for #BISA2026 (3rd-5th June, Brighton), this time for a panel I'm organising with @tom-cb.bsky.social. Deadline 24th Oct. Gender and resistance in environmental politics: This panel will explore how gender relates to resistance against env harm AND resistance to transition.

We are putting out this Call for Papers for BISA2026 in search of people who are researching the connection between gender and resistance in the field of environmental politics.
This call comes at a time of (at least) two forms of gendered resistance:
1. Growing resistance to measures that combat climate change and environmental destruction, a form of resistance that is often masculinised
2. Ongoing resistance against environmental destruction, a form of resistance that is both discursively constructed as feminine and that manifests as a form of burden that is often borne by women and other marginalised peoples
Against a backdrop of the target of 1.5 degrees warming looking increasingly unlikely, and a ‘green’ transition currently reliant on new geographies of environmental and human harm and exploitation, any meaningful progress towards global environmental targets is stalling. Resistance to these forms of harm and efforts to transition away from fossil fuels are at a critical juncture. At the same time, there is a surging right-wing politics globally, part of which acts as a defence of industry and environmental harm. This form of resistance is directed at transition itself.
We invite papers which explore the intersections of gender and resistance in relation to environment or climate politics. Approaches might include ecofeminism, political ecology, and feminist political economy.
Some papers which participants might engage with:
• Petro-masculinity: Fossil fuels and authoritarian desire (Daggett, 2018)
• Feminist approaches to environmental politics (Lawrence et al, 2025)
• ‘Gender and climate change’: from impacts to discourses (MacGregor, 2010)
• Colonial erasures in gender and climate change solutions (Resurrección, 2024)
Please send your 200 word abstracts to t.n.brookes@keele.ac.uk and weatherillck@outlook.com by 24th October along with your name, affiliation, career stage and geographical location.

Call for Papers for #BISA2026! Exploring the relationship between imperialism, coloniality and environmental degradation. This is a joint call with Colonial, Postcolonial & Decolonial WG, recognising that important work is being done at the intersection of our groups. Deadline Friday 24 October.

Exploring the relationship between imperialism, coloniality and environmental degradation
Joint Call for Papers from the Colonial, Postcolonial, and Decolonial Working Group and Environment and Climate Politics Working Group
We are putting out this joint call in recognition that many researchers are working at the intersection of our two working groups - and during a time when the realities of this intersection between colonialism, empire, and the environment have never been more clear. This moment makes evident the interconnections between militarism and settler colonialism and genocide and ecocide, and therefore the need to situate our knowledge and approaches within anticolonial, indigenous and translocal perspectives.
Recognising the importance of scholarship that addresses these issues, we are calling for papers for BISA2026 that are related to the topics of how imperialism / colonialism / extraction / capitalism are in relationship with environmental degradation. This can be on a material level, where the functions of occupation and extraction lead to environmental destruction, or on a more discursive level, where hierarchies of life are used to justify and naturalise ongoing violence against people and places.
Whilst we are keeping this Call quite broad to encourage wide-ranging submissions, some paper topics or research areas might include:
•
Genocide and its links to environmental destruction, for example in Palestine, DR Congo, and Sudan, to name a few.
•
Ecological imperialism – theoretical contributions or case studies
•
Reparative justice and climate change
•
The construction of new ‘frontiers’ – how imperialism and extraction is moving to new areas such as the deep sea or space
•
Anticolonial and anti-extractive organising and decarbonization and fossil fuel phase outs
•
Indigenous approaches on relationality, connectedness and climate justice
•
The role of academics in perpetuating or resisting these forms of harm
Please send your 200-250 word abstrac…
