This flightless, multi-site, interdisciplinary conference explores the confluences between environmental and religious perspectives and practices in the long Anglophone nineteenth century (1780-1900). In response to the rapid acceleration of climate change, this conference avoids air travel by digitally connecting events at several conference sites in the United States and in the United Kingdom. By lowering barriers of cost and transportation, this approach to networking promises to enable a more diverse and inclusive range of participation than is often possible at international conferences.

 

The four-day conference features over 70 presenters including:

 

Mike Berners-Lee
Professor at Lancaster University’s Environment Centre and Founder of Small World Consulting

 

Susan Bratton
Professor of Environmental Studies at Baylor University

 

Michael Northcott
Professor Emeritus at University of Edinburgh School of Divinity

 

Gauri Viswanathan
Class of 1933 Professor in the Humanities at Columbia University

 

Norman Wirzba
Gilbert T. Rowe Distinguished Professor of Christian Theology; Senior Fellow at the Kenan Institute for Ethics; Senior Associate Dean for Institutional and Faculty Advancement at Duke Divinity School

 

Attend one of four conference sites if you live within 500 miles ground transport distance. If you live more than 500 miles away, make plans to participate online through the conference website at baylor.edu/library/ecologyreligion.
