Conference on rethinking cultures of environmentalism in Eastern and Northern Europe

The conference “Rethinking Cultures of Environmentalism in Eastern and Northern Europe” will take place in the Kumu Art Museum auditorium on 14 September and at Tallinn University on 15 September.

A new wave of scholarly writing on the histories of environmentalism has significantly broadened our understanding of the ways of being environmentally aware, demonstrating the wide dissemination of diverse environmental practices and ideas across different societies and regimes, ideologies and belief systems, practices, discourses and genres. Ulrike Plath and Elle-Mari Talivee, researchers of the Under and Tuglas Literary Center, belong to the organizing committee of the conference and will present on their research topics.
