Environmental Humanities

Group Coordinators

The Environmental Humanities working group is Berkeley’s central platform for interdisciplinary discussions of environmental entanglements within literature, culture, and visual media. This collaborative network invites scholars to interrogate the expansive stakes and possibilities of ecologically-minded humanities research. Our readings engage with aesthetic and material problems of vibrancy, technology, sexuality, and more, from a vantage critical of the Anthropocene. Rather than rendering landscapes, plants, animals, and non-human others as peripheral, we center these actors and their impacts.
