”Sustainable Ways of Sharing Space with Awkward Others” in Sustainability Science Days 2023 in Helsinki, Finland
--------------------------------------------
CFA for the session "Sustainable Ways of Sharing Space with Awkward Others"  in Sustainability Science Days 2023 - Pathways of Hope, in Helsinki, Finland organised jointly by Helsinki Institute of Sustainability Science (HELSUS) and Aalto University on 23 - 26th of May 2023 (https://www.helsinki.fi/en/conferences/sustainability-science-days-2023).

 

Session: Sustainable Ways of Sharing Space with Awkward Others

Conveners: Heta Lähdesmäki, University of Helsinki; Nina V. Nygren, Häme University of Applied Sciences (HAMK); Pauliina Rautio, University of Oulu

One Liner: Discovering sustainable ways of sharing space with awkward others

Keywords: sustainable coexistence; sharing space; unloved others; non-human animals; non-human life; conflict

Session Description: Everywhere humans live they share their living environments with non-human animals, plants, and other life forms. Sharing spaces with non-human others sometimes results in conflicts as human and non-human interests collide (in urban and rural areas and everywhere in between). This is often the case with awkward, unwelcomed, or unloved others, like animals perceived as pests and plants considered weeds. Their presence can cause human-non-human conflicts as well as generate disputes between members of the public as well as different interest groups. Attempts to address and resolve these conflicts vary in research and in practice. In this session we invite scholars from different disciplines to discuss various viewpoints to the contested terrains of sharing space with awkward others. The focus is on how human-non-human and human-to-human conflicts can be solved or lessened. Discussions aim at exploring the ways in which research can have societal impacts on sustainable cohabitation in urban and rural spaces.

Key questions to be addressed in the session:

 	What kind of human-non-human and between-human conflicts are generated by the presence of awkward or unwelcomed others (in urban spaces and elsewhere) and how are they solved or lessened?
 	What kind of research (theoretical and empirical approaches) is needed for societal impacts on sustainable cohabitation?”

 

We hope to get abstracts discussing unloved, awkward plants, animals and other life forms. If the CFA resonates with you, feel free to send an abstract trough a link you can find on the webpage (https://www.helsinki.fi/en/conferences/sustainability-science-days-2023/theme-calls/open-call-abstracts). The call for abstracts closes on February 22, 2023, at 23:59 Finnish time. Unfortunately the session will not be a hybrid one. The conference will have a conference fee (hopefully info on that will be soon on the web page).
