Hybrid Workshop: Hideous, Invasive, Forgotten: Theorising Uncharismatic Species in Environmental History

What is an uncharismatic species? Who decides? How do we find their voices in the historical record? And what new insights do they offer to the field of environmental history? This two-day hybrid workshop explores these and other related questions through individual papers, keynotes, and other research outputs.

The workshop brings together established and emerging scholars in environmental history and cognate disciplines, to contemplate through a series of related cases, the multiple interacting forces that have historically coalesced to render individuals and entire species uncharismatic.

A number of AANZEHN members will be presenting their research on uncharismatic species at this two-day hybrid workshop, hosted by Harrison Croft at Universität Augsburg and online.

Sandra Swart (Stellenbosch) and Kate Stevens (Waikato) will give keynotes, and all are welcome to join the discussion.
