Framed by the interconnected themes of climate/clime studies and migration, we welcome papers addressing climate-driven migration as a relational and multispecies affair in concrete historical, ecological, scientific, social, spiritual, and affective terms. We welcome research projects addressing, but not limited to, the following topics contextualised in the Hindu Kush Himalaya, including its downstream river basins: human and nonhuman migrations, plant-human entanglements, animal geographies, the lives, deaths, and after-lives of matter, more-than-human histories, shapeshifting and migrating waters, indigenous crops, seeds, and food-systems (and changes therein), human affective and spiritual relations with physical environments, movement, mobility, and connection to places, epistemologies of climate (change), anthropogenic alterations of landscapes, and multispecies ethics and justice in climate changed environs.
