The performing arts contribute to the environmental humanities, foregrounding their role in understanding and tackling the environmental crisis. This PhD Academy includes a program of problem-based learning activities consisting of seminars and workshops, concluding in show-and-tell and dissemination activities. The seminars and workshops aim to transfer skills and methods to students from a range of disciplinary backgrounds. The broader field of study, environmental humanities, will underpin all activities which will focus on the impact of environmental crisis and climate change on the city of Venice, looking, specifically, at the role of waste in society and the ways in which theorists and artists have engaged with this concept and related labour practices in Venice and beyond.
The focus is deliberatively placed on the performing arts, though methods and scholarship will draw, characteristically for the performing arts, from a range of disciplines, empowering students to use innovative practices and explore strategies for knowledge production.
Suitable for: PhD students, post-docs, and junior researchers within all disciplines. The module requires no prior knowledge or skills in ecological and environmental practice, performing arts or heritage studies and is open to anyone with an interest in addressing the challenge of climate change. It may be of particular interest to those students who are considering a career in environmental humanities.
