A Relational Approach to the Environmental Humanities

How can literature and other forms of culture impact ecological systems? This talk will present a relational approach to the environmental humanities that seeks to reshape our environmental relationships by tracing the wider systemic effects of various forms of cultural engagement. It will illustrate this approach by describing how nineteenth-century environmental authors like William Wordsworth, Henry David Thoreau, and John Muir became associated with specific landscapes in ways that shaped the modern significance of nature and the emergence and development of the environmental movement.

Scott Hess is Professor of English and Environmental Sustainability at Earlham College. He currently serves as Conference Chair on the Executive Council of the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment (ASLE).

Co-sponsored by the Department of English and Sustainability Hub for Innovation and Environment (SHINE)
