Space For Islands

The theme Space for Islands arises from the urgent need to address humanity’s challenges in the Anthropocene era through an entanglement approach. This conference invites participants to reflect on islands as spaces of knowledge, imagination, power, and projection. The study of relations between islands and the global commons is particularly welcomed, raising the profile of these geographies in our understanding of global phenomena. Islands are not merely peripheral or isolated territories ; they are nodal points of global circulation, and strategic platforms for scientific, technological, cultural, and geopolitical experimentation.
