The SUN Project’s first conference panel will be taking place at the fourth World Congress of Environmental History! Located at the University of Oulu in picturesque Oulu, Finland, our panel is entitled, “Indigenous Survivance: Rethinking Environmental Crisis and Global Colonialism.”

The SUN Formas research team will be meeting at Teleborgs slott, Växjö, Sweden, from 24-26 September! This meeting allows all team members to discuss future projects and scheduling face-to-face, meet with collaborative partners, and outline what the shape of work in the coming several years will take.

The week’s activities include: a tour of Linnaeus University’s beautiful campus and buildings, presentation by LNU’s Centre for Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies’ Senior Research fellow Stefan Amirell, teleconference with SUN’s collaborative partners, and extensive planning for current and future projects and events.
