Katie Ritson participated in the symposium on the Wadden Sea in Danish literature on 30-31 March 2023. Organised by Anders Ehlers Dam from the Europa-Universität Flensburg in cooperation with Taarnborg in Ribe and the Danish Wadden Sea Centre “Vadehavscentret,” the event drew literary scholars from across Denmark and Germany and featured readings by prominent Danish writers. The symposium set out to explore how Danish literature represents the rhythmically shifting border between sea and land, and the significance of climate change for the literary understanding of this landscape. The event ended with a short guided walk on the mudflats with a view out towards the island of Mandø.
