Dear colleagues, We are pleased to invite paper proposals for a workshop called "From Anti-Environmental Conservatism to Eco-Nationalism" at the Nordic Environmental Social Science (NESS) Conference in Uppsala 9-11 June 2026. The workshop will focus on themes of green conservatism, anti-environmental conservatism, and eco-nationalism. Historically, conservationist and environmental movements were often embedded in conservative or nationalist worldviews. However, in contemporary debate on environmental dilemmas, conservative and nationalistic parties are often opposing transformative policies. In our workshop we want to revisit and critically interrogate the historical trajectories, contemporary manifestations, and political futures of both an anti-environmental and green conservatism. Generally we ask the question whether there is a future for environmentalism on the political right, as especially in conservatism. We invite scholars from across the social sciences to submit fully drafted manuscripts that address this topic from diverse disciplinary, theoretical, and methodological perspectives. Comparative analyses, historical studies, discourse analyses, ethnographies, survey-based work, and political economy approaches are all welcome. We particularly encourage contributions that explore cross-national differences, trace continuities and ruptures in anti-environmental, green conservative or eco-nationalist traditions or investigate how such orientations intersect with broader struggles over democracy, identity, and climate politics. Please find the full call here, and our workshop listed at number 15: https://www.uu.se/en/department/earth-sciences/research/natural-resources-and-sustainable-development/ness2026/workshops The deadline for submissions is the 8th of December 2025. We look forward to receiving your submissions!
