CfP: Exploring Indigenous Health and Wellbeing in the Context of Anthropogenic Climate Change
2 June 2025
Join us for a two-day interdisciplinary research symposium and sandpit focused on Indigenous health and wellbeing in the face of anthropogenic climate change. Submit your abstract by 10th June.
Event Dates: 14–15 July 2025 at UCL
Deadline for Abstracts: 10 June 2025
Day one will feature a series of presentations and discussions unpacking Indigenous climate action, adaptation, activism, and epistemologies. Day two will host a collaborative research sandpit designed to foster partnerships, exchange knowledge, and develop future research projects and funding applications.
This event is co-organised by researchers in Anthropology and Global Health at UCL and welcomes participation from across the academic spectrum and beyond. Graduate students, early career researchers, and community collaborators are especially encouraged to join and contribute to this timely dialogue.
We invite contributions including research presentations, work-in-progress and early-stage ideas, collaborative and co-presented papers, and creative or alternative formats. If you would like to discuss your contribution, please feel free to get in touch! We are particularly interested in submissions that engage with one or more of the following themes:
- Indigenous resilience, survivance, and worldviews in relation to environmental change and the more-than-human world.
- Indigenous climate action, activism, adaptation, and mitigation efforts.
- Indigenous epistemologies and how they shape understandings and responses to anthropogenic climate change.
Please submit a 250-word abstract and a short bio (max 100 words) here by 10th June 2025.
We have limited funds available to support travel and accommodation for participants who are unable to cover these costs through their own institutions. We ask that participants who are awarded funding commit to participate across both days of the event.
