Humor and the Humanities in the Service of Ecology   

THE SCIENTIFIC MORNING SESSION ON NOVEMBER 6

University of Lausanne, Nucléo, Vortex

Can the power of laughter help us create new ecological imaginaries? This question is at the heart of this scientific morning session at Écotopiales 2026. We will explore the many ways in which, from the Middle Ages to the present day, the humanities—both classical and digital—have renewed our relationship with the environment, while sharpening our critical thinking regarding climate issues. How can the arts, in the broadest sense, help us craft a joyful, humorous, and engaging vision of ecology? Here’s what our guest researchers will help us discover! 

Speakers: Alain Corbellari, Laurent Leforestier, Stéphanie Lukasik, Myriam Bahaffou
