The EASLCE Webinar is a digital 90-min. event format which seeks to bring internationally renowned scholars and their most recent research closer to graduate students and emerging scholars. The webinars facilitate scholarly exchange in a small group of max. 15 participants per webinar and thereby allow for in-depth and often cross-disciplinary discussion. Usually, EASLCE hosts two to three webinars per year, with a regular occurrence in spring and autumn. Topics cover different areas of Environmental Humanities scholarship such as plant studies, environmental justice, the blue humanities, the more-than-human, and petrocultures.
New webinars are announced via the newsletter and social media. Sign-up takes place via the EASCLE website. The webinars are free of charge for participants.
