University of Galway is looking for partners who would like to co-apply to the ENLIGHT Incubator call in order to co-develop a collaborative final-year BA module entitled EMBHU - Exploring Migration Beyond the Human. The module would be delivered partially online and partially in-person in one or two of the partner universities, and it would include artistic explorations of the topic and practice-based methodology.

EMBHU – Exploring Migration Beyond the Human will be a collaborative, practice-based final-year undergraduate module examining migration as an ecological, creative, and multispecies phenomenon. Co-taught across three ENLIGHT universities, the module will combine environmental humanities, critical plant and animal studies, languages, and artistic research to explore how landscapes, species, and communities are transformed by human and nonhuman movement. Delivered mostly online, with two in-person intensives, EMBHU will emphasise creative methodologies including seed bombing, site-specific eco-art, and multispecies storytelling. Students work across borders—intellectually and geographically—developing creative-critical portfolios that reflect on migration, place, and ecological change. We seek partners with expertise in environmental humanities, multispecies ethnography, eco-art, or related fields.
