FIRE is the focus of NAHR 2024.
Fire, as an elemental force that has shaped the very fabric of existence on Earth, permeates every aspect of all life forms. From the depths of the Earth’s core to the celestial bodies that adorn the skies, fire is an omnipresent phenomenon.
This call aims to explore the multifaceted aspects of fire, delving into its diverse manifestations, implications, and applications. As a powerful force of nature, fire has captivated curiosity since time immemorial, shaping our history, cultures, and scientific understanding. By examining various dimensions of fire, we seek to foster a comprehensive understanding of its significance with careful attention to every form of life, employing fields of knowledge ranging from environmental science and art to anthropology and literature. We encourage submissions that shed light on the intricate interplay between fire and its surroundings, encompassing both its destructive potential and its constructive applications. We particularly encourage applications from First Nations peoples with Indigenous cultural perspectives. Join us in unraveling the enigmatic nature of fire and its far-reaching impact on the world.
