CONFERENCE SCHEDULE

Digital Ecologies in Practice will be a two-day hybrid event, held both in-person and online.

Day One (in-person only) will involve several practical outings and exhibitions. Participants will get hands-on experience with a range of digital technologies, including immersive VR nature experiences, a demonstration of digital fences, and a ‘digital urban ecologies walk’. On this day we are delighted to host a range of immersive exhibitions and talks with design practitioners engaging digital methods and technologies to explore themes of ecology.


Day Two (in-person and online) will follow a more standard conference format, consisting of several panels and a keynote event (tbc). In-person participants will have the option of dining together at the end of each day. We have a limited amount of funding available to cover the travel costs of several participants. In your proposals, please indicate whether you would like to apply for this funding. Participants are encouraged to seek funding from their institutions, funding bodies, and departments. Priority will be given to PhD candidates, early career researchers, and non-tenured academics.

We encourage scholars and practitioners from a range of disciplines to apply: social scientists; natural scientists; humanities scholars; artists/designers; and beyond. Interdisciplinary collaborations are highly encouraged.

DIGITAL ECOLOGIES IN PRACTICE SPECIAL ISSUE WITH CGIP

Following the conference, we will submit a proposal for a special issue of cultural geographies in practice. Contributions will document and reflect on creative, practical, and experimental uses of digital technologies and mediation in relation to environmental governance and knowledge production, human-nonhuman encounters, and digitised more-than-human worlds more broadly. The editors of CGiP have already expressed their support for this endeavour.
