ECOLOGISATION IS NOT A METAPHOR: CULTURE IN THE WEB OF LIFE
Ecological thinking has long been entangled with different ideas about how to organise political, economic and social life. In the face of climate change and the environmental crisis, the urgency of thinking and acting ecologically has only intensified. Cultural actors and institutions have mobilised to address these concerns with new environmental programming, innovative sustainability strategies, and declarations of a climate and ecological emergency. This talk will argue that such shifts don’t just point towards alternative ways of living on and with the planet, they also instigate a fundamental reorientation of culture in the web of life. Drawing on the work of Jason Moore, this conceptualisation recognises that – like all forms of human organisation – cultural policies and practices are always co-constituted through nature. By focusing on the evolving place of museums in this web, the talk will explore how museums have contributed to the planetary crisis through specific symbolic and material practices, but also how emerging approaches in the field might, in some small way, help to ecologise society more broadly.
Colin Sterling is Assistant Professor / Senior Lecturer in Heritage, Museums and the Environment at the University of Amsterdam, where he teaches across heritage and memory, museum studies and artistic research. Colin's research critically examines heritage and museums through the lens of art and ecology. He is the author of Heritage, Photography, and the Affective Past (Routledge, 2020) and co-editor of Deterritorializing the Future: Heritage in, of and after the Anthropocene (Open Humanities Press, 2020). He is co-editor of the journal Museums & Social Issues.

Conference Report - Demokratie 50 years after Geschichtliche Grundbegriffe (May 3-5 2023)
This was a slightly unusual conference in that was directed to the detailed exploration of the Geschichtlicher Grundbegriffe (henceforth GG) entry on Demokratie written 50 years ago, which has had a profound influence, not only on German historiography. But also on the way in which political ideas are discussed in, especially, Central and Northern Europe.
The conference circulated both an epitome of the GG entry, and a detailed agenda for discussion. The six key speakers (German speaking experts from the region) whose travel we supported were given the task of responding to the different topics on the agenda in turn, and then, in each session, the floor was opened to others attending. These included a number of senior people in the field from Oxford, Cambridge , Sussex, Nottingham, York, etc.
