Such exclusions have left philosophy i ll-equipped to deal with the various environmental crises we currently fac e\, as economic rationality and utilitarian logic further de-animate the w orld and sharpen the human/nature distinction. Even the concept “environme nt” often\, and ironically\, brings with it implicit anthropocentric assum ptions\, conceptualizing\, and thereby separating\, the human as independe nt from the surrounding world and reinforcing the human/nature divide. As a result\, our (mis)understandings of “nature” and “environment” may make us insensitive to and perpetuate\, rather than address\, climate change an d other environmental catastrophes. To avoid ambiguities and clarify our u nderstanding\, we must ask: what role does Nature play within our theories and practices concerning so-called Environmental Philosophy? Furthermore\ , what spaces\, practices\, and questions are made possible when we broade n our understanding of “environment” to include a more robust conceptualiz ation of the natural world and how the human being ought to be contextuali zed within it?\nThis conference asks how we might reorient the language an d practices of philosophy in a way that can enable us to adequately respon d to ongoing environmental crises. As a starting point\, we propose a need to reimagine the concepts “human\,” “nature\,” and “environment\,” as wel l as the reciprocal relations that constitute them. To recognize humans as natural organisms\, we must reevaluate the sensuous\, the material\, and the aesthetic and the roles they play in our attempts to construct\, under stand\, and preserve our environment(s). How should we make sense of our p ractices and our relations to those with whom we share our surroundings? H ow can we re-situate the human with/in the environment? Do we have the rig ht tools to guide these investigations? How might philosophy look beyond i tself—to literature\, architecture\, music\, film\, design—to better bring Environment\, and thus the world\, into view? In the spirit of this\, we invite paper as well as project submissions from current graduate students in any discipline.\nPossible Topics:\n● Environmental Aesthetics: Re-Considering Beauty + the Sublime\n● Environmental Justice + Rest orative Justice + Transformative Justice\n● Environmental Ethics + Sustainable Practices\n● Diversity + Biodiversity\n● Capital ism and Climate\n● Eco-phenomenology\n● Eco-deconstruction\n ● Environmental Racism/Racist Environments\n● Ecofeminist co nceptions of nature\n● Land Rights and Property Relations\n● Posthumanism + Object Ontologies\n● Afrofuturism + Technological U topias\n● Environmental Ethics In Narratives\n● Mastery of N ature in Philosophy\n● Anarcho-primitivism\n● Queer and Tran s Ecologies\n● Local and Global Ecologies\n● Regionalisms an d Globalisms in the Ecological Imagination\n \nConfirmed Conference Keynot es:\nSandra Shapshay\, CUNY Graduate Center\, New York\nEmanuele Coccia\, École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS)\, Paris\nDates and Lo cation:\nThis conference will be held at the New School for Social Researc h in New York City from Thursday\, April 14\, to Saturday\, April 16.

The violence already systematically inflicted on other earth beings (animals and the en vironment)\, and intensifying today intensified through ecological collaps e and climate change\, is ‘in plain sight’. Yet entrenched epistemic and i nstitutional barriers impede its being registered in ways proportionate to its gravity. While in recent years\, philosophers and social theorists ha ve done a good job at explaining why\, to use two familiar example\, glass walls to abattoirs don’t stop people eating meat\, and data on climate ch ange does not catalyse mass mobilization\, we have been less adept at deli vering our analysis in ways that both illuminate and transform the many si tes of dangerous inertia.
\nThrough the experience of living through the Black Summer wildfires\, Danielle Celermajer decided to philosophize the impact of climate catastrophe on animals and the envi ronment through the genre of creative non-fiction. The result was Summ ertime\; Reflections on a Vanishing Future\, a book that grounds argu ments about what ethics and responsibility to other earth beings means in the era of climate catastrophe in the immediate experiences of the members of the multispecies community with whom she lives. In this conversation\, Celermajer and Professor Alice Crary will take Summertim e as their starting point to reflect on questions of ethics\, language\, a nd the responsibility of theorists in the midst of ecological collapse.
\nBios:
\nDanielle Celermajer is Professor of Sociology at the University of Sydney\, Deputy Director of the Sydney Environment Institute and leads the Multispecies Justice proje ct. Her books include Sins of the Nation and the Ritual of Apology and The Prevention of Torture\, A Cultural History of Law in the Mod ern Age\, The Subject of Human Rights\, and Institutiona l Transformations. Through the experience of living through the black summer bushfires with a multispecies community\, she began writing about a new crime of our age\, Omnicide. Her book Summertime\; Reflections on a Vanishing Future (Penguin Random House\, 2021) considers the more-than-hum an experience of climate catastrophe.
