Roundtable: On the role(s) and defining challenges of environmental humanities research in a time of crisis. If EH develops across academic disciplines out of a belated recognition of the impact, scale and intensity of climate and ‘nature’ emergencies in the Capitalocene, what is its role both in the propagation of new knowledge and the coordination of existing knowledge production? In what ways might EH research contribute not only to theoretical debates within the humanities but also to debates in the larger arenas of social and political struggle? Tom Simpson (Warwick), Moritz Ingwersen (TU Dresden), Fabienne Viala (Warwick), Nina Vieira (Nova, Lisbon), Tiago de Luca (Warwick), Lucio De Capitani (Ca'Foscari, Venice), moderated by Nick Lawrence (Warwick).
