SUMMARY:2023 Spring Symposium: Call for Paper “Climate Change and South Asia”
DESCRIPTION:How is the global climate crisis affecting South Asia\, and how are governments and communities in South Asia responding to the myriad challenges of climate change? This symposium invites scholars in the interpretive social sciences\, humanities\, arts\, architecture\, business\, planning\, public health\, and policy studies\, among others\, to share research and artistic work\, and join together in conversations about climate change in South Asia. Research and creative work of an interdisciplinary nature are especially encouraged. We aim to promote a richer understanding of how people are working to forge collective\, inclusive\, and effective solutions to this major crisis of our times.  \nThis symposium will be held virtually on Zoom. As our Spring Symposia are known for the connections and conversations they foster\, we will make every effort to facilitate such connections in the virtual space. Keynote speakers’ presentations here at the University of Hawai‘i Mānoa will be open to local in-person audiences and livestreamed for virtual audiences as well.  \nDesired themes include\, but are not limited to: \n\nSouth Asian Perspectives on Climate Justice and Global Political Ecology\n\nHow are national and transnational efforts responding to global climate agreements\, market-based solutions such as carbon trading\, and newer frameworks such as REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation +)? Could the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC)\, Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technological and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC)\, or other organizations for international cooperation play a role here\, and\, if so\, what should they do?\nHow have South Asian actors\, from nations to civil society groups\, strived to shape global climate policy? How have their efforts been influenced by contextual factors such as colonial histories\, neocolonial attitudes\, capitalist imperatives\, and social movements? How do local specificities and universalizing global climate imperatives interact? \n\n\nSociocultural Implications\, Effects\, and Innovations due to Climate Change\n\nClimate change impacts everything\, from ecosystems to infrastructure  to livelihoods\, and some are already facing real\, existential threats. How are threatened and vulnerable communities responding to climate change? Innovative uses of traditional and new technologies\, indigenous wisdom and cultural knowledge\, and reimagining cities’ planning and design—for instance\, to generate efforts to preserve\, restore\, and maintain valued ways of living and coexisting—could be addressed here. \nClimate change affects all aspects of society. How do climate change-induced changes intersect with and impact issues of caste\, ethnicity\, class\, gender\, sexuality\, disability\, regional identities and national affiliations\, etc.? \nCritical analyses of the potentials and limits of the preponderance of concepts such as  “resilience” and “sustainability\,” interpreted in a broad sense.\n\n\nArtistic\, Literary\, and Design Approaches to Climate Change\n\nHow are artistic\, literary\, and design endeavors engaging with climate change? What might be their potentials to transform state\, society\, and market\, at multiple scales? \n\n\n\nSubmit Abstract \nPlease see here for further information and to submit abstracts (200 words\, due January 31\, 2023). \nShare on FacebookTweetFollow usSave
