Synopsis

In a world beset with multiple non-environmental crises, what should the role of environmental humanities be? Drawing on conversations with fifteen environmental humanities scholars, this book explores different challenges, possibilities, and hopes for the field. It presents different arguments for its intellectual agenda and public duty, as well as for its institutionalization and pedagogy-not only in this difficult moment but also looking out toward the future. Ultimately, the book shares accounts of how environmental humanities can help those engaged with the field to find each other and with others, to hold space for radically resisting singular narratives and false binaries about the world, and to imagine alternative futures grounded in efforts existing today.
