Environmental Humanities Research Group
This group brings together researchers who are working in response to environmental crisis, alert to calls for epistemic change to recentre ‘who and what the humanities has chosen to overlook in its stories of the earth’ (Yusoff).
It aims to foster dialogue and community at the University of Leeds and beyond, around new work in interdisciplinary fields including extinction studies, eco-marxism, eco-poetics, eco-theology, new materialism, plant humanities and animal studies.
Hosted by the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies, and through dialogue and events, the group will foreground art and visual culture as eco-critical resources and as stimuli for multi-disciplinary conversations.
