Childhoods/Natures
Seminar Series
The Childhoods/Natures Seminar Series is an online monthly event that hosts academics from across the globe and from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds to speak about their research on childhoods, children/nature relationships and child development. Organised by the group Learning Natures based at the Rachel Carson Centre, it offers a space to think and discuss about childhoods and child-nature relationships across disciplinary boundaries.
Reading Group: “Life and Nature: Interdisciplinary Perspectives”
Our reading group explores theories and methods in philosophical, psychological and anthropological research on human-nonhuman relationships. We reflect together on concepts such as “nature” and “agency” and discuss synergies and differences in the ways in which different disciplines understand childhood, cognition and the environment.
