Why do the humanities matter for climate research? This talk begins with a growing recognition: The humanities are vital to climate research – yet this recognition emerges at a time when the humanities themselves are under severe institutional pressure.

The talk will address the limitations of siloed expertise and science-technocratic solutions that lack critical, reflexive, and cultural grounding – an issue that is becoming increasingly evident. Conceptual, historical, and imaginative insights and skills, rooted in deep understandings of media, language, and human cultures, are essential to addressing the complexity of climatic changes.

But what does interdisciplinarity really mean? Situated within the aims of Marianne Achiam’s research project, SUSTAIN-ART-SCI – a project dedicated to developing transformational, arts-based science communication – the talk asks whether and how interdisciplinarity can it be more than a buzzword. Can it be something that serves as a meaningful mode of shared inquiry? A way of working that values epistemic justice and embraces productive friction tensions not only between the humanities and natural sciences, but also among social sciences and the arts? This lecture argues for a methodological reorientation toward such sometimes inconvenient encounters of friction.

Following Marianne Achiam’s talk, artistic postdoc Eva la Cour and visiting PhD Johanna Paschen at CApE will join a conversation about shifting interdisciplinary terrains and how artists, scientists, and citizens can collaborate to shape more just forms and cultures of knowledge.

We will wrap up with a a small reception.
