Possible topics could include: Cultural Studies Analysis of Past and Present Environmental Conflicts and Debates in the Hispanic World. Environment and Cultures of Time. Revival of Indigenous Cultures of Environment. Slow Violence. Environmentally Focused Economic Theories Emerging from Hispanic Cultures. Urban and/or Rural Alternative Cultures and Economies Focused on Environmental Sustainability and Justice. Transatlantic Environmental Exchanges.

In their recent article "Crisis, Change and The Humanities." Annabel Martín and Txetxu Aguado call humanities' scholars to think "how to recover our place in the world" and point out that our mission is "to encourage a deep self-awareness on behalf of its researchers, students, and practitioners of the supreme complexities of the world through the development of an interdisciplinary paradigm for continued, life-long learning." What can humanities do in the context of the conjoined and deepening environmental and political crises?
