Confluence is an international gathering of researchers with a series of events hosted over three days, hosted by Critical Environments Cluster in the Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies (ECLS) and the Environmental Humanities Network (EHN) at U of Warwick. It will focus on methods for research and pedagogy in the Environmental Humanities.
As part of an endeavour to link up Environmental Humanities research currently conducted across the Faculty of Arts and the U of Warwick, as a pilot Summer Term event for the new MAEH based in ECLS, as an inaugural event for the relaunch of our EHN, and as part of the new University Spotlight on Sustainability, we are organizing Confluence: a symposium on research methods in the Environmental Humanities, to be held in the Faculty of Arts Building on the morning of 31^st May. 
The event also convenes a new Eutopia-funded Connected Community focused on Environmental Humanities that brings together researchers based at U of Warwick, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, NOVA University Lisbon, and Dresden University of Technology. We will welcome three faculty and five MA students from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, two faculty and one PhD student from NOVA University Lisbon, and one faculty and three PhD students from Dresden University of Technology, all researchers in areas of the Environmental Humanities and STS.
