Hovedinnhold
Medlemmenes spesifikke forskningsinteresser spenner fra klimaendringer og vannpolitikk til miljølitteratur og kunst.
Forsker gruppen for miljøhumaniora er et tverrfaglig samarbeid mellom forskere innen fagområdene historie, arkeologi, kulturvitenskap, lingvistikk, litteratur, medievitenskap, statsvitenskap, sosialantropologi, naturvitenskap og teknologistudier og videre. Sammensetningen gjenspeiler den tverrfaglige karakteren til feltet miljøhumaniora, som bygger bro mellom naturvitenskap og humaniora, så vel som mellom akademia og samfunnet, ved å anvende humanistiske metoder og tankemåter på miljøfag. Forskningen vår omfatter et stort spekter av menneskelig interaksjon med den fysiske verden, fra antikkens migrasjon til moderne klimaresistens.
Gruppemedlemmer samarbeider med forskere fra hele verden med støtte fra Det europeiske forskningsrådet, Norges forskningsråd og andre store finansieringsenheter, samt fra Det humanistisk fakultet ved Universitetet i Bergen. En utvalgt liste over store prosjekter utført av medlemmer av gruppen kan ses på den engelske versjonen av nettsiden, men vennligst se individuelle medlemmers profiler og biografier for ytterligere detaljer om våre forskningsinteresser, tilknytninger og ekspertiseområder.

Participants: Nils Haukeland Vedal, Birger Solheim, Knut Mikjel Rio, Vigdis Broch-Due, Olaf Haraldsøn Smedal, Scott Bremer This workshop explores the garden as a phenomenon that spans geographical regions and time. For some people the garden is the condition of life and death – thus, horticulture is framed by sophisticated ritual sacrifice securing vegetal regrowth and the reproduction of society. For others, the garden is a prism for different historisities: a colonial past through which our modern ideals have found structure and content. And for our technological imaginaries, the garden is a companion to be taken with us when we expand the site of our dwellings as we take "nature" with us to new places. |
