Special Issue of Southern Cultures

Call for Submissions

Special Issue of Southern Cultures

Human/Nature (Spring 2021)

Deadline for Submissions: June 15, 2020

Guest edited by Tulane professor Andy Horowitz, Southern Cultures encourages submissions from scholars, writers, and artists for a special issue, Human/Nature, to be published Spring 2021. Issuing this call from an age of rising seas and devastating viruses, Southern Cultures is interested in approaches to the environment that recognize both that humans are now, and have long been, agents of change in the so-called natural world, and also that nature always creates possibilities and limits for human life.

Southern Cultures encourages innovative methods, but also seeks work that engages with venerable forms—nature writing and agricultural history, for example—and invigorates them with contemporary concerns, ideas, and frameworks.

Join the conversation!

We will convene twice each month to explore themes that stretch across scales and disciplines, such as food and food systems, racial violence, and technology and intimacy. Our goal is to learn from each other, and to strengthen the theories and the practices that guide our work as artists, activists, researchers, policy makers, writers, scientists, designers, teachers, students, and leaders, all working to navigate the Anthropocene and the challenges of climate change and pandemic. If you are committed to sharing your own work and experiences, learning, and dialogue, please join us.

These conversations are hosted by Water Leaders Institute, The New Orleans Center for the Gulf South, and the Gulf South Anthropocene Working Group, with the support of the following people: Jelagat Cheruiyot, Shana griffin, Aron Chang, Grace Treffinger, Rebecca Snedeker, and Denise Frazier. Please reach out if you'd like to join the team or otherwise support these convenings.

This series builds on the April 9 FIKA on Climate Change, the Anthropocene, and COVID-19, which you can view here. Many thanks to everyone who took part. Your contributions and your suggestions are the basis for how we're thinking about the structure and purpose of BRAID AND FLOW.
