Dear all,
Please save the date for the second edition of Vital Elements Seminar Series. As you might remember, the first of the series was held in Sousse, Tunisia. This second edition is to take place in Amsterdam.
We are excited that environmental anthropologist Pierre Louis du Plessis (Aarhus University) will be our speaker. He will present on his project Geographies of Beef: Shadow Ecologies of European Green in African Landscapes. And we are equally excited that our UvA colleague Else Vogel, will act as the discussant to Pierre’s talk.
We will circulate more details on Pierre’s talk soon, including the Zoom link for hybrid meeting options.
The Vital Elements Seminar Series is part of the ERC-Advanced research project Vital Elements. The series addresses global challenges such as migration, environmental crises, and colonial relations by exploring vital materialities like water, seeds, phosphate, salt and oil that are essential for life or can spur death in their absence.
Date: February 24, 2025 Location: UvA REC, Anthropology Common Room (B5.12) Time: 15.00-17.00
Warm regards, The Vital Elements Team.
