Call for Papers: New European Trends in Ecocriticism and Climate Change Literatures

The Centre for European Studies is delighted to announce its upcoming conference, which takes place from 28-29 May 2026, and is entitled "New European Trends in Ecocriticism and Climate Change Literatures". This conference is organised in collaboration with the DAAD-funded project “European Societal Challenges in German Cultures: Exploring Ageing and Climate Change in Tandem” (2025-26). One section of the conference will be reserved for presentation of the project findings.

We invite scholars and researchers to submit their papers and to explore new ecocritical directions emerging within European contexts, including innovative theoretical approaches, evolving narrative forms, and the growing integration of environmental justice into cultural analysis.
