International Landscape Workshop

The 2026 edition of the International Landscape Workshop is an on-field interdisciplinary research experience promoted by the PhD Program in Landscape Studies for Global and Local Challenges in collaboration with the Imago Mundi Lab and mainly addressed to 20 junior researchers (PhD candidates, post-docs, etc.). The aim is to integrate geographical and historical theories, methods, and tools with other disciplines – such as linguistics, visual studies, sociology, architecture, urban planning – to reflect on landscape as a complex and trans-scale concept. It is, therefore, articulated in some sessions starting from global challenges related to world dynamics and imaginaries launched from a “coinhabiting” perspective by three keynotes speeches about “landscape”, “urbanity”, and “heritage”. Each session, then, focuses on specific case-studies considered as “research patches” and highlighting global stakes.

A collaborative approach will guide participants in immersive research experiences, based on methods for the global – ecological, just, economic, and digital – transitions to face world challenges, through “territorial patches” analysis.
