'Er Indoors: Domesticity and Nature in Home and Garden 2019
Important Dates
About 'Er Indoors
This one day interdisciplinary conference seeks to provide a fresh, interdisciplinary perspective on the interaction of humans with the environment by focusing on the relationship between the house and the garden across time and place, on the ways in which family life occurs in the domestic space and how it moves between the indoors and the outdoors. This conference will, through possible subsequent academic publication and alongside ongoing public engagement, promote a rethink of our place in the nature that is on our doorstep.
Topics
Gender, Environment, Health, DomesticityCall for Papers
This conference will appeal to scholars from diverse fields who are concerned with environmental issues in the domestic setting. Every time and place has a domestic culture of the inside and the outside that can be critically examined and compared. Participants will be drawn from a range of disciplines with interests spanning, though not restricted to, the humanities, with a balance between contributions adopting historical perspectives and those which critically examine areas of contemporary practice. In bringing historical accounts into dialogue with present practices, Domesticity and Nature in Home and Garden will create a new understanding of relationships between health, domesticity and the environment.
