Polycrisis points to ever complexifying interlinkages between environment and society, between various risks and vulnerabilities, with a background of unsustainable historical trajectories. It also points to the necessity of eco-social reconstruction: the urgency to safeguard physical life-support systems and to reconstruct the infrastructure of societies \u2013 which challenges the level of our understanding the existential conditions of modern societies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Responses to polycrisis relate to multiple spatial scales and temporalities \u2013 especially the tension between short and long term, acute and creeping crises. This requires mobilizing knowledge of various levels of dynamic, multidimensional, and complex systems. Joined-up action and collaboration, along with technological and social innovations are needed to bring about sustainable transformation whilst taking care of eco-social resilience in the midst of chronic crises.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Eco-social reconstruction implies changes in societal priorities, regulation and incentives, practices of living, transportation, food and energy. Such reconstruction is about both reaching safe ecological boundaries and rethinking human security and sustainable well-being. At the same time, current transformation initiatives, such as the \u2018green transition\u2019 are likely to create their own dilemmas, tradeoffs and controversies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><strong>The YHYS 2023 colloquium<\/strong> will explore what environmental social sciences have to offer in understanding the polycrisis and in developing adequate responses through eco-social reconstruction. The term can be approached from diverse angles: both as a specific concept of scientific inquiry (e.g. case studies of regions or sectors) and as a generic notion capturing specific features of this emerging era.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">While the polycrisis challenges our societies, it also challenges the categories and disciplinary divides of science, including social sciences. Do our conceptual tools and empirical methods, our research projects and university education programs meet the current crises?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">We welcome researchers from all fields of social and human sciences, broadly defined, with interests regarding eco-social linkages, social, political, economic historical dynamics, and the human dimensions of the current crises and related societal responses. We also aim to support dialogue between environmental social sciences and beyond, including other societal actors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:51px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\">Welcome to the 2023 YHYS Colloquium! <\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Follow us on X (Twitter) for more information <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/uefgeohistory?lang=fi\"><strong>@UEFGeoHistory<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yhys_ry\"><strong>@yhys_ry<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>#YHYS2023<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"206\" data-id=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.uef.fi\/yhys2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/411\/2023\/04\/Picture4-1024x206.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.uef.fi\/yhys2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/411\/2023\/04\/Picture4-1024x206.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.uef.fi\/yhys2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/411\/2023\/04\/Picture4-300x60.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.uef.fi\/yhys2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/411\/2023\/04\/Picture4-768x154.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.uef.fi\/yhys2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/411\/2023\/04\/Picture4-1536x308.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.uef.fi\/yhys2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/411\/2023\/04\/Picture4-2048x411.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Eastern Finland invites you to join the annual colloquium of the Finnish Society for Environmental Social Science YHYS Colloquium 2023 with the theme Polycrisis \u2013 eco-social linkages, responses and reconstruction&nbsp;
