4th International Environmental Humanities Conference: The Blue Humanities
Cappadocia University, May 20-23, 2026
The 4th International Environmental Humanities Conference invites scholars, artists, writers, and practitioners to contribute to ongoing conversations that chart the multiple currents of water-centered thinking. We welcome proposals that examine the oceanic and the aquatic through literary, historical, cultural, philosophical, artistic, and ecological lenses. We also invite new approaches to blue aesthetics that engage with ecological futures and critically address and challenge colonial legacies, capitalist greed, extractivist practices, hierarchical structures, and terracentric logics.
