What is it about?

1st English “Scientific Coffee Human-Forest-Relationships”

08. September 2021
13-15 CET / 14-16 EEST

Input: Anne Matilainen (University of Helsinki): Feelings of psychological ownership towards forests

The “Scientific Coffee” sessions continue our cooperation and exchange on the relations between society, humans and forests that we started with the workshop “Contested Society-Nature-Relations. Forest related Emotions, Practices & Conflicts in Times of Societal Change” in May this year. The start will be made by our colleague Anne Matilainen from the University of Helsinki who is researching the concept of psychological ownership in the context of forests. More info on her academic work: https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/anne-matilainen/publications/

Anne will give a short introduction to the concept of psychological ownership and her research. With coffee and cookies at hand, we will have plenty of room for an open discussion and exchange. The scientific coffee will take place on zoom (link below).

The “Scientific Coffee HFR” sessions give room for open and relaxed discussions on current research subjects related to human and society relations to forests. They take place as often as we find the time to organise another session – but at least one session per semester is planned.

If you are interested in contributing to the next “Scientific Coffee HFR”, please contact jana.holz@uni-jena.de with info on your subject (title and short abstract) and preferred Wednesday (13-15 CET / 14-16 EEST).
