For the University of Iceland\u2019s 2026 Hugv\u00edsinda\u00feing (Humanities Conference)<\/a>, a double-session featuring the Climate Change and Affect Network introduced new and ongoing research by its members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organised by Ole Martin Sandberg, the sessions commingled research contexts from network members based in the University of Iceland's Research Centres in \u00deingeyjarsveit and in H\u00f6fn, University of Bifr\u00f6st, Iceland Academy of the Arts, as well as independent scholars. There was a strong subcurrent presenting climate and affect pedagogical approaches. This double panel surfaced a robust and lively network in its infancy but with promise for future collaboration. The session should become a staple of future Hugv\u00edsinda\u00feing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics presented over four hours included soil mutuality (Helga \u00d6gmundard\u00f3ttir), vegetal community (Gunnd\u00eds \u00ddr Finnbogad\u00f3ttir and Mariana Lucia Tamayo), glacial relations (\u00deorvar\u00f0ur \u00c1rnason and Angela Sn\u00e6fellsj\u00f6kuls Rawlings), just transition (Jean-R\u00e9mi Chareyre), sketching despair and radical hope in more-than-human constellations (\u00d3lafur P\u00e1ll J\u00f3nsson and R\u00e1n Flygenring), as well as ecofiction and speculative curation (Bergsveinn \u00de\u00f3rsson and Thomas Pausz). On behalf of the research project F\u00f3kus: Centering Families in Iceland\u2019s Just Transition, Dr. Rawlings introduced the in-progress manuscript \u201cJust Ice: Econarratives of Kin Relations in a Time of Deglaciation\u201d they are co-writing with Au\u00f0ur A\u00f0alsteinsd\u00f3ttir.
