CALL FOR PROPOSALS: ECOLOGIES OF/AND ADAPTATION 

LITERATURE / FILM ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE

UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA, MISSOULA, MONTANA

SEPTEMBER 21-23, 2023

As a medium that conveys our acute sensitivities, longings, and struggles for justice, literature has always been responsive to human rights, namely, our political, economic, social, cultural, and environmental entitlements as rights-bearing subjects. The idea of human rights is simultaneously a political aim, a legal discourse, and a set of social, political, and legal practices. It figures in literary texts in the more recognizable form of access to justice. Writers and poets have always critically responded to injustices and violations of rights in their time and offered their reflections on the idea of justice and rights.
