SPANISH ASSOCIATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL HUMANITIES

EVENTS


AeHA participates in and organizes gatherings of both a scientific nature—workshops, seminars, and conferences—conceived as open spaces for exchange and reflection, as well as outreach-oriented activities such as guided field visits, citizen participation initiatives, and public lectures. These events aim to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, the exchange of perspectives, and the creation of networks among professionals, researchers, and interested communities, while also sowing the seeds of environmental reflection within society.
Beyond the presentation of results, our goal is to encourage lively debates and to generate new questions, approaches, and lines of work that continue to develop after each gathering.

1st Spanish Congress of Environmental Humanities: “New Perspectives for a Transforming World: The Situation and Prospects of Environmental Humanities in Spain”, Automn-Winter, 2026.

Individual and collective imaginaries about the environment are changing rapidly. Our relationship with natural environments is evolving alongside our ways of thinking about health, food, leisure, the place of the non-human, and our responsibilities as societies. These transformations are expressed in new sensitivities, emotions, and concerns — such as eco-anxiety or solastalgia — in discourses about uncertain futures, and in new forms of social mobilisation and cultural expression.

Environmental humanities emerge precisely to question the traditional divisions between the natural and the social, fostering dialogue between social sciences, the humanities, natural sciences, and science and technology studies, while providing tools to understand the complexity of relationships between societies and nature.

The 1st Spanish Congress of Environmental Humanities aims to bring together researchers, professionals, and anyone interested in the study and practice of these interactions. The congress offers a space for meeting, reflection, and debate around four main themes:
. The emergence, scope, and contents of environmental humanities
. Environmental humanities, between reflexivity in professional practice and the challenges of training
. Transformations in the governance of nature
. Arts, litterature, and collective action from the perspective of environmental humanities
