The conference will center around themes of space and place&mdash\;Presenters will consider ideas about how diverse spaces hold unique meanings to different people at varying moments in time. This topic will explore how these interactions shape social and political thought and whether or not the spaces people occupy construct a reciprocal dialogue between individual and milieu. We aim to create a community of presenters and participants broadly interested in sacred land preservation\, the climate of alliances\, the intersectionality of race\, class\, gender\, and climate destruction\; the phenomenology of living not just among humans but with all other beings\, within the Anthropocene.
