Shé Hawke
I currently live on Wiradjuri Country and acknowledge and respect the people, past present and emerging. I am an inter disciplinary researcher, who focusses on water and climate change through the disciplines of cultural studies, environmental sociology and education, philosophy, heritage studies and theology.
I am an Honorary Associate in the Department of Gender and Cultural Studies in the School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry, at the University of Sydney, Australia where I taught from 2005-2013. I am also an Adjunct Lecturer at St Marks National Theological Centre, CSU, Canberra, working on project about teaching and learning women in early christianity.
From 2019-2022 I was employed at the Mediterranean Institute for Environmental Studies, Science and Research Centre (ZRS) Koper, Slovenia, where I was the inaugural Director of the Mediterranean Institute for Environmental Studies (MIOS) (2019-2021).
My research practice engages with myth-theology, feminist philosophy and gender studies, environmental humanities, psychology, geo-politics and cultural studies.
I was co-investigator and Slovenian Lead partner on the project: HORIZON 2020 H2020-LC-CLA-13-2020: SMART CONTROL OF CLIMATE RESILIENCE IN EUROPEAN COASTAL CITIES (SCORE) led by IT Sligo, Ireland from 2020-2022.

Bourdieu, Irigaray, Stengers, Leopold, and Ferenczi sit at the heart of my cross-disciplinary scholarship. Planetary sustainability is my key current research field. I recognise nature as a sentient and intelligent and with whom human research must partner.
I also co-authored a grant application called Surviving the Anthropocene and was principal researcher for the Slovene team (until my resignation in 2022), funded by the Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS J7-1824) and Austrian Research Agency, from November 2019- May 2022. My key outputs for this project were with Dr Reingard Spannring from The University of Innsbruck: AquaMooc and Pedagogy in the Anthropocene Text book with Michael Paulsen and Jan Jagodzinski (Palgrave 2022)
I am no longer affiliated with ZRS and handed over the Slovene leadership of the SCORE project to my colleagues (Drs Meulenberg, Kumer, and Cavaion) who are building on the legacy of the interdisciplinary research base and innovative ideas that I left in their hands.

Edited Books/Special Issues by Shé Hawke
This book confronts new pedagogical challenges of the Anthropocene era. The authors argue that this new epoch, with an unstable climate and new varieties of globally spreading viruses, calls for a re-invigoration in education and an alertness to new philosophies of education, pedagogical imaginations, thoughts and practices. Addressing the linkages between the Anthropocene and Pedagogy across a broad pedagogical and cultural spectrum that is both formal and informal, the editors and their contributors emphasize a re-imagining of education that is alive, and serves to deepen our understandings of the capacities and values of all planetary life.

“Shé M. Hawke and Lenart Škof have carefully curated an international collection of loving, sensitive, hopeful, rigorous, and original multi- disciplinary scholarship that learns from and honors survivors by witnessing their stories. In so doing, we learn about how shame converges with violence. Each chapter provides unique opportunities for the reader to be nurtured through analyses of shame and violence to cultivate change to their own and others' ways of life that may directly or indirectly enable violence and injustice. This book is an essential resource to understand what relationships among power, shame, and violence do. Yet, it is more than that. The reader is provided with opportunities to reflect on how survivors instruct a non-violent advocacy that guides us closer to understanding justice and rights for all humans, other species, and the environment.” Dr Clifton Evers, Newcastle University, UK.
"This important volume brings together diverse textual testimonies of gendered violence from voices less often heard within the academy. These essays powerfully expose and analyze the intersections of gender, shame, violence, and injustice and the systematic use of gendered terror to enforce the subordination of women across the globe. This book is a must-read for anyone concerned about global gender justice." Professor Kelly Oliver, Vanderbilt University. USA.

Shame, Gender Violence, and Ethics
Terrors of Injustice
EDITED BY LENART ŠKOF AND SHÉ M. HAWKE -
CONTRIBUTIONS BY JANET H. ANDERSON; JANE BARTER; BENJAMIN DUERR; ROUBA EL HELOU-SENSENIG; VITA EMERY; SHÉ M. HAWKE; CECILIA HERLES; FARIDA KHALAF; AARON LOONEY; DANNY MARRERO; MELISSA MCKAY; ELEANOR SANDERSON; SASHINUNGLA; LENART ŠKOF AND VOJKO STRAHOVNIK
Shame, Gender Violence, and Ethics: Terrors of Injustice draws from contemporary, concrete atrocities against women and marginalized communities to re-conceptualize moral shame and to set moral shame apart from dimensions of subordination, humiliation, and disgrace. The interdisciplinary collection starts with a contribution from a Yazidi-survivor of genocidal and sexual violence, whose case brings together core themes: gender, ethnic and religious identity, and violence and shame. Further accounts of shame and gendered violence in this collection take the reader to other and equally disturbing accounts of lesser-known atrocities from around the world. Although shame is sometimes posited as an inevitable companion to human life, editors Lenart Škof and Shé M. Hawke situate the discussion in the theoretical landscape of shame, and the contributors challenge this concept through fields as diverse as law, journalism, activism, philosophy, theology, ecofeminism, and gender and cultural studies. Their discussion of gendered shame makes room for it to be both a negative and a redemptive concept. Combining junior and senior scholarship, this collection examines power relations in the cycle of shame and violence.
Journal Articles by Shé Hawke
The consequences of accelerating climate change for land and sea biodiversity require innovative approaches to research. Interdisciplinary re- search serves to connect natural science, social sciences and humanities, tech- nology, and engineering, as well as welcoming citizen scientists into the re- search environment. Interdisciplinarity is part of a developing innovative ap- proach to research that emphasizes co-evolution of traditional sciences, with citizen science and participatory engagement in the realisation of research goals and the promotion of climate change mitigation strategies. In this article, through the example of shellfish maricultures we illustrate interdisciplinarity, particularly demonstrating how marine biology, health and well-being, social science and cultural geography come together at the interface between nature, culture, and climate change mitigation strategies.
Agradecemos ante todo el encomiable trabajo de Fr.Javier Campos, OSA referido a la fecunda actividad misionera de los Agustinos en el Perú del siglo XVI, es un honor que tan importante pluma nos acompañe en este esforzado volumen que, con mucha voluntad venimos a editar.
Buena parte del cuerpo de los trabajos que continúan, corresponden a la Séptima edición de las Jornadas de Estudios Patrísticos que la Biblioteca organiza con el concurso de otras entidades académicas, que favorecen la organización y desempeño de los expositores y asistentes y que como ha sido virtual, se ha contado con una recepción de trabajos no solo de nivel regional (América Latina ) sino de otras latitudes (Europa, Asia y Oceanía ). En 2021 el lema convocante ha sido: “Mulier, quid ploras?” (Jn 20.15). Imágenes y Lecturas de lo femenino en los Padres de la Iglesia

lens, this article re-considers Edward O Wilson’s rendering of biophilia, as a response to present Anthropocene crises. The paper further argues for a stronger re-turn to First Nations ontologies, sustainability practices and dia- logue, in the hope of re-discovering how being ‘a part of’ nature might better endorse a ‘love of nature’. Embedded in such inter-disciplinary and critical embodiment praxis are signification systems shown through nature/culture confluences, spiritual beliefs and traditions, that form part of a knowledge plexus that calls on humanity to act urgently.
The Anthropocene has come to signify human dominance over the more-than-human world with all its negative consequences for this planet’s human and nonhuman inhabitants. As young people have started to express their feelings of concern and frustration with the inertia of the political elites, youth research, too, is called upon to reconsider and broaden its perspective. In particular, we argue, that the Anthropocene challenges anthropocentrism, dualisms, and traditional notions of agency in youth research, and must be critiqued through multi-disciplinary investigation. A transgression of the mainstream paradigm in youth research through the perspective of Complex Adaptive Systems Theory (CAS) could provide much needed analyses of a broad range of issues at the intersection of youth and ecological concerns. This article will therefore outline Complex Adaptive Systems Theory (CAS) as a multi-disciplinary tool, and apply it to two examples: the biosocial system of the Elwha River waterscape, and the #Fridays for Future strikes that are both motivated by environmental concerns. Finally, it discusses the possible contributions of a CAS approach in youth research to a better understanding of agency and change in ecologically turbulent times.
SUMMARY – The roles of women through whom a Matrology might be derived, are examined here in two ways: firstly, and according to apocryphal, historical and contemporary interpretations, through precarious gender relations of the political and historical context of the patriarchal Greco-Roman world; and secondly, by analysing both reductionist and inclusive accounts of women’s witness and role in the early Christian Church as ascetics, translators, benefactors, teachers and companion equals to early Church Fathers. That this disparity, and further omission of women from the Christian canon has been sustained until the twenty first century, makes such a study and reconsideration imperative to the veracity of studies in spirituality and theology.

Monografija Pravičnost, sram, nasilje in feminino: filozofski in večdisciplinarni vpogledi (…) je v Sloveniji prvi primer širše obravnave problematike sramu povezano z vprašanjem pravičnosti in nasilja v okviru širšega izročila humanističnih ved.

Znanstvena monografija že v svojem bogatem naslovu nakazuje na to, da bo bralcem postregla s širokim naborom zanimivih tem s področja humanizma, ki so plod raziskovanja in preučevanja znanstvenic in znanstvenikov različnih humanističnih smeri.
Monografija prinaša nove uvide v koncepte pravičnosti, nasilja, sramu in femininega, pri čemer poskuša posamezne pojme med seboj povezati v nove relacije. Pri tem gre izpostaviti, da je izvirnost in poseben doprinos monografije prav v korelacijah med temi različnimi pojmi, ki so v našem domačem znanstvenem področju na polju humanistike v takšnih povezavah manj znani in obravnavani. Prav zaradi tega pomeni monografija bogat in izviren doprinos za razvoj znanstvenega področja in je izjemnega pomena za slovenski znanstveni prostor. Preučevanje tematike in aktualizacija tudi pomembno vplivata na razvoj znanstvene in strokovne terminologije.

The later work of Sándor Ferenczi was awash with salt-water inquiry that arises out of the oceanic depths of the Thalassal Trend. The purpose of this chapter is, through a poetics of water, to illuminate the property of salt water and wonder as Ferenczi did about its relationship to human evolution through a reading of amphimixis, and the evolution of tears, the latter engaging the work of Elaine Morgan. We are particularly interested in the clinical presentation of phylogenetic or thalassal regression, as reported in his seminal work: Thalassa: A Theory of Genitality (1924), and later works including The Clinical Diary (1933) and what the contemporary multi-disciplinary (particularly ficto-critical) application of such ideas might mean.
inadvertently influenced current evolutionary theory. This paper demonstrates crossovers and tensions between the disciplines of hard science through the work of Charles Darwin, particularly The Descent of Man (1859), and feminist humanities through the work of Elaine Morgan. It also elucidates psychoanalyst
Sándor Ferenczi’s concept of utraquism at the biological and evolutionary level, as a methodological tool. Darwin does not refute that life began in the sea, but what is missing in his account is what happened after the amoeba migrated to land, and how human beings evolved from this simple life form.
Or did they? Further, I consider the work of tears and their inter-relationship
to biology, affect and emotion."

‘In this collection Jen Webb and Shé Hawke coalesce human and elemental experiences of air, water, and spirit. Flight Mode takes us swimming through waves of elegiac illuminations of grief and longing as well as irreverent re-articulations of meta-narratives, and under- spoken concerns at the nature culture threshold. The entanglement of these two vastly different writing styles delivers liminal and lyrical narration that ripples across inner monologues, skin, desire, and world-making. These writers will take your breath away and then help you jubilantly breathe once more. ’

Each section of this tumultuous and exciting water narrative takes the reader for a ride on different streams of intoxicating, daring and under-told water stories.

We now live in the geological epoch called the Anthropocene (Crutzen & Stoermer, 2000; Steffen et al., 2011; Zalasiewicz et al., 2008; Steffen et al., 2016; Morton, 2016; Sørlin, 2017; Ellis, 2018). In this age, Anthropos, through human activities, technologies and alterations of the global environment have begun to affect the whole life-critical zone of the Earth more than ever before, and more than anything else (Lin, 2010; Latour, 2017). The consequences are many: “the great acceleration” of technology, industry, agriculture, and an over-use of natural resources (McNeill & Engelke, 2016), mass extinctions (see for example Chap. 2), global warming (Oreskes & Conway, 2011), collapse of eco-systems (Steffen et al., 2006), and the spread of pandemics and multi-resistant bacteria. All this promises an ever more impoverished earth if we continue along the prevailing trajectory. Innovative, integrated, achievable, and inclusive pedagogical intervention into climate change and Anthropocene damage, form the two-pronged yet intertwined focus of this collection.
We engage citizen scientists to do some field work on their relationship with a water course of their choice. The data procured, while a small data set, provides further provocation to get students and citizens into nature more, and to meet it on its own terms, 'as its own self' as Deborah Bird Rose (2007) puts it.

CHAPTER 10
Embodying the Earth: Environmental Pedagogy, Re-wilding Waterscapes and Human Consciousness
Shé M. Hawke and Reingard Spannring
EMBODYING KNOWLEDGE: AN INTRODUCTION
In this chapter we argue that humans have a duty of care towards nature that must be more effectively and inclusively realised before further willful damage is unleashed on the planet. Our focus is specifically waterscapes in relation to how they interact with other natural, earth and cultural sys- tems. As Steffen, Crutzen and McNeil declared in 2007 when naming the Anthropocene Epoch and its fallout, “the future of Earth’s environment and its ability to provide the services required to maintain viable human

Costal City Living labs (CCLL) is one of the main concepts behind SCORE: it is a new approach that expands the living lab concept in coastal cities to address climate change adaptation and resilience issues.
• The overall aim of SCORE is to design, develop, monitor and validate robust adaptation measures in coastal and low-lying areas to protect them from increasing climate and sea level risks, including coastal flooding and erosion, to enhance their overall long-term resilience.
• SCORE is based on co-design, co-development, deploying, testing, and demonstrating innovative EBAs, smart technologies and hybrid Nature Based Solutions (NBSs), while facilitating financial sustainability.

Background and aims
(Foto: Lake Bled, Slovenia © Spannring)
This project aims to resolve the perceived clash between culture, nature, ethics, and policy in the Anthropocene through a critical inter-disciplinary approach. It offers a new space for the exploration of elemental water and the development of water literacy. Water animates all life and critically relies on appropriate conditions for expression, co-evolvement and life-supporting reorganization. A critical aspect of the research project is an innovative, inclusive eco-pedagogical approach that inspires a range of stakeholders, and is invested in disrupting pre-existing structural obstacles and perceptions of the more-than-human world as "resource" or "environmental service provider".
Nature has been increasingly commoditised and ecologically degraded through lack of effective, companion-centred mutual respect and ethical governance and wise stewardship of nature (Hawke&Palsson 2017). By centering ecology and navigating new ecological justice through new hydro-logics, the proposed research will champion connectivity and resilience, awe and wonder. The flow on aims and effects of these motivations is to inspire accountability in educational design and citizen engagement that speaks with nature, rather than about nature as a passive and subordinate ‘other’. This necessarily inter-disciplinary project has three main objectives:
I. To understand and co-direct water and its connections more holistically as having environmental, economic and cultural value through ecological literacy;
II. To enact water literacy as understood philosophically and socio-culturally through the application of CAS towards new ontological direction;
III. To advance ecological restorative justice and intersubjective ethics in theory and praxis through innovative philosophy and bio-respect for elemental worlds founded in distinct, creative and inclusive pedagogy.

Current planetary rates of population growth and associated industrial, military and agricultural development already exceed what the natural environment, changing weather patterns and clean water supply can sustain (Stockholm Resilience Centre: Nine Planetary Boundaries). This is both a global and local (g/local) issue that requires critical and collaborative policy review. This paper examines transformations in water management and policy and how that has been understood and enacted in Australia within its own borders, as an intra and trans boundary issue. It also provokes questions and possibilities about how effective international collaboration might create new currents of sustainability logic for water, through engagement with a variety of actors from everyday citizens to policy makers and management. Understanding water as the vital component to all life is not a new thought in dry landscapes such as Australia (or Israel), but it is one that needs expanding through a biosocial resilience optic that addresses economic, environmental and socio-cultural values of water in more sustainable measure.
This research and practice is invested in exploring innovative and inclusive ways to enact water management that values water as something other than just a commodity with use and exchange value, and that invokes a new ‘water literacy’ (Hawke 2012). According to cross cultural collaborators Moggridge (2012) and Acret, Bragg and Gordon (2012) while water is a commodity, it is also an ancestor with tangible and intangible spiritual properties containing customary values. Indigenous Australia has an historical and current reverence for water that sustained Aborigines for 40,000 years. This is less obvious in Australia’s 200 year old ‘settler descended’ economy and western science that has seen Australia overdraw the water account through unsuitable agricultural practices. Recent reforms in policy and collaborative management to ensure waters flow and distributive sharing are now evident in some sectors of Australian policy. This paper offers further methods of re-thinking and collaborating on water policy reform at the intra and transboundary level, locally and globally.

The once-neon reef
Bubble wrapped and bleached
Asks to be seen (Hawke forthcoming 2021)
The body of the world is articulate and uncannily thoughtful (Vicki Kirby 1997, 5).
Heidegger is not concerned about the fact that pollution for example, has destroyed all animal life in the Rhine. What does concern him is that the river has been put to man’s exclusive service (Ilya Prigogine 1984, 33)
Through two themes, this paper addresses the provocation of anthropocentric recklessness that has, at least since the Industrial Revolution, regarded nature primarily as a commodity to be exploited for human commerce. Firstly, let us consider how we became so disassociated from our source (the physical environment that sustains life), that a series of global ecological disasters has called us to attention- to wake up. The will-full damage caused by the human enterprise falls uneasily on the ledger of sustainability (both cognitively and materially) and calls for a complete re-vision of how and what we think we know. And what is it that we know? What has the past taught us? Vicky Kirby (1997), among others suggests that nature knows much, and is articulate. First Nations Indigenous pedagogy and ontology has spoken this way for thousands of years. Why then do some branches of humanity still struggle to decipher signifiers beyond their immediate world and thresholds, and divide the world according to nature and culture oppositions rather than seek confluences? There are many questions. Here I aim to gesture towards conceptual and physical meeting places, where eco-fluency might thrive through a spectrum of complex entities and relations, in which all players are recognised as intelligent, and in which ‘becoming and being with’, matter? Secondly, let us consider how, in real terms, we might we now be of service to the rivers and waters of the Blue Planet (Barlow 2007), that sustain all life. How we listen in, observe needs, and act more inclusively and conscientiously, is part of the future we are creating now, and how we educate for the future, now. This discussion is critical as we stand on the precipice of even greater shifts that are already changing the face of an earth that we have bubble-wrapped in plastic.
Civil Disobedience forms part of the types resistance and in different countries across the world and through time and space and place, the role of civil disobedience has been understood in many different ways, and as provoked by a multitude of injustices, but also the enactment of freedom of speech.
Presented to UNIT CG 350 "Narratives of Resistance: From the Greek War of Independence to the Resilience against the Coronavirus," for the Department of Classical Studies, Boston University, [online], 18 November 2020.
It covered issues of environmental sustainability and environmental literacy, in particular 'water literacy' (Hawke 2012). The aim of the lecture was to build capacity in students critical thinking capacity transformed into action as they learn. more about the local water courses that sustain their lives. The lecture formed part of a collaborative component between Dr Spannring and myself on a joint project on the Anthropocene, but also include learning and understanding about ecopedagogy and what that means in everyday life.for students , teachers and researchers alike.

My presentation Funded by SCORE -European Commission https://score-eu-project.eu
This presentation examines the interactions between all life, water and the complex adaptive system that is planet Earth. I will address the idea that the human species must now cross-examine itself and its recklessness since the onset of the Great Acceleration of the Anthropocene (1-2) in the 1950s. Disrupting our comfort zones, obsessions, bias and unnecessary consumerism, is an ethical imperative now. It necessarily calls on economics, technology and science, philosophy and cultural studies, public policy and everyday people as expert witnesses, to come together to resolve the complex climate issues that threaten planetary care. For a ‘Green Deal’ to be possible, we must produce innovative yet realistic futures. An inter-disciplinary stock-take of both past and present practices is required. Against the back drop of the recent Slovenian Water Act Referendum (11 July 2021), I will discuss why business proposals for Slovenian dams continue to threaten our wellspring, despite the European Commission’s Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 (Section 2.2.7) committing to ‘restore 25,000 kilometres of water to a free flowing state’ (https://ec.europa.eu/info/index_en ). Why would we now work against the flow?
As an example, I will in particular present realisable, state-of-the-art sustainability measures that reduce and re-use household water. MIOS was recently funded by the European Commission Horizon 2020 (LC-CLA-13-2020-2: Smart Control of the Climate Resilience of European Coastal Cities) inter-disciplinary project, to develop a water redistribution system (©SHINK2C) for bathrooms, to offset: water wastage, and the need for dams and de-salinisation. This research will enable Slovenia to merge innovative science and technology, with citizen science and uphold the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and act inclusively towards climate change mitigation that involves the public and youth as citizen scientists.
We cannot exoticize climate change as some external ‘other’ any longer. We are climate change – part of a Complex Adaptive System (CAS), (3) of life, for which we have been given the capacity to govern. Life is contingent on understanding our connections between the ground we stand on, the air we breathe and the water that falls free from the tap. This paper applies CAS, as part of a co-created and connected way towards climate change resilience using the example of rivers and their inter relationships with human culture (4-5).

B11 INCLUSION OF NON-HUMANS IN PEDAGOGICAL AND COLLECTIVE EXCHANGES?
If nature is not recognized as a sentient and rational creator and conveyor of knowledge, and/or a wonder and/or a dialogue partner, do we then risk continued failure in our duty of care to planetary stewardship? Or put differently: is it perilously 'ego-centric' for humans to believe they are the only species capable of pedagogical exchange-of narrativization? Could ideas like 'bewildering education' (Snaza 2018) 'decentering the human' , 'environmental literacy' , 're-newed connections with more-than-human worlds' , 're-wilding human consciousness' , and knowledge emerging from the 'natural library' (Hawke 2012) be fruitful in this regard? Or more generally: How can non-humans be included and understood in pedagogical activities, not only as objects of study, but also as agents in their own right? But how can we acquire experiences of how to share the world we live in with radical others? If for instance one thinks differently about the ontology of music, will suggestions for other procedures regarding learning, practising and performing music occur? Will we stop muting sounds not originating from humans, and free us from anthropocentric notions of "good taste"? Could also examinations of the construction of human-animal relations in educational contexts, the shortcomings of dominant anthropocentric pedagogies and the transformative opportunities offered by alternative frameworks such as ecojustice and humane education be fruitful here? Or examinations of how educational institutions are embedded in the animal industrial complex, which requires cooperation across disciplinary boundaries to transform education and schooling? "Togetherness-Vibrant Matter Collective: Modelling Possible Universes". For six months an extended neighbourhood, including some artist and researchers, established a temporary society for half a year that experimented with decentring the relationship between human, other living organisms and matter. We were asking: How can we acquire experiences of how to share the world we live in with radical others? We dreamed of, and actually were able to establish, a relationship through song with the beautiful, gloving microorganism phosphorescence. In another part of the project the Vibrant Matter Ensemble asked: If one thinks differently about the ontology of music, will suggestions for other procedures regarding learning, practising and performing music occur? Will we stop muting sounds not originating from humans, and free us from anthropocentric notions of "good taste"? The presentation will report from this attempt in a Norwegian neighbourhood to break away from established anthropocentric configurations of the sensible and possible, blurring the boundaries between art, education and activism. Some theoretical contributors to the presentation: Tony Valberg (Ph.d.) is a musician and professor in Music Pedagogy at the Institute of Music, Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Agder (UiA), Norway. Valberg, who has led a number of relational art projects, has in recent years established temporary small communities in search of an environmental awareness that allows relationships to extend beyond human intersubjectivity. Valberg is a leader of the research group Art and Social Relations. More on his latest project at https://togethernessvmc.com "A Critical Need for Environmental Literacy: Re-Wilding Human Consciousness". This paper argues for the recognition of nature as both a sentient and rational creator and conveyor of knowledge. If the concept of nature's capacities is not expanded, (or re-wilded), the human species risks continued failure in its duty of care to planetary stewardship, as the fallout from the Anthropocene already shows. It is perilously 'ego-centric' for humans to believe they are the only intelligent species capable of pedagogical exchange-of narrativization. The methodology of environmental literacy born from my earlier work on 'water literacy' (Hawke 2012) seeks to decentre the human and invite all actors into inter-species and elemental dialogue through deep listening and renewed connection with more-than-human worlds. Environmental literacy presents an opportunity to rewrite and co-create 'eco-centric' habits as the new norm, with the youngest of citizens, and through a pedagogy of entanglements in the spectrum of natural and cultural life. Re-wilding human consciousness may liberate unsustainable habits and practices and recreate space for learning from the ground upwards in the 'natural library' (Hawke 2012) that nature is. This paper addresses the anthropocentric provocations of human recklessness, and the will-full damage caused by the human enterprise, which falls uneasily on the ledger of sustainability and calls for a complete revision of how and what we think we and others know.

Water literary: a missing link in Darwinism recovered in eco-criticism
Dr Shé Mackenzie Hawke, The University of Sydney
This paper explores the potential application of broad water literacy sourced from Darwin’s aquatic and gendered oversights to current accounts of water re-signification through poetics and the work of Emily Potter. Just as Darwin wore gendered blinkers—in relation to aquatic environments—so too has the ‘settlement’ story of Australia often worn socio/cultural blinkers. Through a ficto-critical writing practice, this paper aims to alter the course of water in the public imagination by re-signifying its many presentations and forms as a meeting place, not just between gender and culture, but also between scientific and literary cross currents. My aim is to offer re-distributive possibilities of water knowledge that takes up Potter’s notion of water literacy across fields. The current water crisis begs us to re imagine our relationship with water and the hydrological cycle, and the knowledges that have often reduced it to mere commodity. This paper uses water as a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary tool, through which a more holistic and reverent understanding of water may be achieved.

I Wynyard Ghost
Bent with weather and age
its wisdom branches witness to civilization
marked for demolition (or crucifixion) –
the sign of the pink cross.
Euthanasia is too kind a word.
Before the chainsaw sapped it,
bled its storied bark
it sighed and bowed – winded –
felled on its own terms
gapping the human axe.

Podnebne spremembe ne trkajo več na naša vrata, so naša nova realnost. Na to nas denimo opozarja največji požar v zgodovini naše države. V slovenski Istri pa na višku turistične sezone primanjkuje pitne vode. Kako so se odzvali hotelirji? Kako goste spodbujajo k varčevanju? Kakšne izboljšave za zmanjšanje njene porabe pripravljajo? Kako s pitno vodo ravnajo potniške ladje? O manjši porabi vode moramo razmišljati vsi. Suše, s pomanjkanjem vode, in požari se bodo ciklično izmenjevali s poplavami, napoveduje dr. She Mackenzie Hawke, avstralska znanstvenica in nekdanja sodelavka koprskega Znanstvenega raziskovalnega središča. Za Piran je s kolegi zasnovala evropski pilotni projekt vnovične uporabe pitne vode.
