It is of little doubt that the climate emergency is an issue of absolute urgence for scholars to address, as we begin to see the increasing effects on the environment brought about by the age of the Anthropocene. Beyond geological influences, human and non-human bodies and their health are deeply impacted by environmental factors, not the least the current pandemic, inviting an interdisciplinary biosocial medical approach to understand contemporary transformations and understandings of 鈥渞isk鈥�. We seek to enhance networks and collaborations between ECRs whose work engages the Anthropocene and health, reflecting on the important outcomes of COP26 and 果冻影院鈥檚 Grand Challenge of 鈥楪lobal Health鈥� as our starting point.

In this one-day workshop, collaboratively hosted between colleagues at 果冻影院 Anthropology and the Institute for Global Health and supported by 果冻影院 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.聽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 direct or indirect 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 鈥楤ODIES AFTER COP26鈥� before the deadline of 6th June 2022.聽If you wish to apply for a travel stipend, please indicate this in your email.

This workshop has received funds from the聽IAS Octagon Small Grants Fund
