<p class="MsoNormal">Feral: An Online Conference (<span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://perc.ac.nz/wordpress/feral/">http://perc.ac.nz/wordpress/feral/</a></span>)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">November 12 – December 2<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please join us for a <b>free</b> online conference examining the concept of the ‘feral’ through the lenses of political ecology and ecocriticism. The idea of the feral gestures towards forms of non-human life that have spurned human control
or expectations: ‘bad’ forms of wilderness that are out of place and upset conventional thinking about the desirable or proper arrangement of nature. From biosecurity to so-called invasive species, ‘dead zones’ to re-wilding, urban pests to unwanted populations,
the idea of the feral calls on us to interrogate our assumptions about how, what, where and why nature ought to be, how we draw those lines and distinctions and how they speak to wider structures of power, political economy and privilege.
