Medieval Ecocriticisms
contact email: 

This HYBRID session seeks papers that explore the ways ecocriticism intersects with, informs, or is expanded by other critical approaches, orientations, and disciplines. We encourage analyses that merge ecocritical frameworks with studies of gender/sexuality, queer identities, race/ethnicity, religion, dis/ability status, postcolonialism, Indigenous studies, or from methodologies outside of the humanities. What can dialogue across these intersections of medieval and modern temporal and spatial ecologies teach us and how can we think anew with them? We encourage proposals from graduate students and early career as well as more established researchers.

Submit proposals via the ICMS Confex portal at: https://icms.confex.com/icms/2026/prelim.cgi/Session/7563
