In this session, we invite participants working across environmental humanities and other disciplines to reflect on their experiences of ‘soiling’ different areas of research. What happens when soils are brought into the research arena as agential, as consequential? How can healthy soil become not only a metaphor but a driver for transdisciplinary action for social change?

This panel approaches interdisciplinarity from a broad range of perspectives, including environmental governance, climate politics, botanics, cybernetics, and science history. Are there commonalities in how we engage interdisciplinarity, and how do we consider its methodological challenges?
Academics are looking for possible combinations of methodological interventions which could be helpful in devising solutions and strategies for survival and healing in the global environmental crisis. In this panel the researchers will share their paths towards combining, extending and shifting their research methods. Through the discussion, the presenters of the panel are looking for new methodological possibilities for facing the unknown known.
This panel will address long-term aspects of interactions between ecological and material foundations of societies, forms of biological and cultural coexistence, and the interdependence of people and the non-human world, specifically in the shores and oceans of the world, through the lens of the arts and the humanities, aiming at pluralizing and un-disciplining the established paradigms of marine science and conservation.
