On February 27-28, the LNUC Concurrences research cluster for Ecology, Culture and Coloniality (ECCo), in collaboration with Agnethe Brounbjerg Bennedsgaard at Aarhus University, organised the first Cultures of the Polycrisis workshop. This workshop was funded by the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Linnaeus University, and it gathered an interdisciplinary group of 25 scholars from four continents to investigate the impact of what is increasingly often referred to as polycrisis on cultural production. Keynote speaker was professor Jed Esty at University of Pennsylvania, and the workshop was also visited by members of the Warwick Research Collective and other centres of literary study in Denmark, India and South Africa. A second workshop, funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, will be organised in the Autumn of 2026.
