collection>ecologies with Dominik Hünniger, University of Hamburg
The collection>ecologies research collective is a collaboration of an international group of scholars and artists interested in collections, covering a wide array of specialties and professions. Our group was born in 2020 and we created a place for discussing the intersections of the history of collections, material culture, environmental humanities, (historical) ecology and the material history of the sciences and knowledge.
From an environmental history & humanities perspective, informed by a decolonial approach, we would like to explore the circumstances and environments in which organisms and objects were found and created for collections. Both environmental history as well as the history of natural history collections and collecting have gained much momentum and public attention in recent years. Our group wants to explore how historical ecology approaches can be used to analyse the past of collections and how (historical) collections may provide important answers for current ecological issues now and in the future. https://collecte.hypotheses.org/
