The Greenhouse Centre for Environmental Humanities will host an illuminating discussion on publishing within the environmental humanities with founders and editors of leading journals: Dolly Jørgensen and Stephanie Foote; moderated by Charlotte Wrigley.

The environmental humanities is a relatively new interdisciplinary approach to environmental issues that has exploded in popularity over the past 15 years. Humanities perspectives are vital to understanding complex environmental problems that cannot be addressed by scientific inquiry alone. At the same time, the field also creates spaces for cross-disciplinary collaboration within and beyond the humanities. Central in facilitating this collaboration and providing a platform for new ideas and discussion are dedicated environmental humanities journals: Environmental Humanities, founded in 2012 and published by Duke University Press, is the top journal in the field, whilst a growing array of journals account for the diverse range of scholarship emerging from the field, including the latest addition Regeneration: Environment, Art, Culture.

Join us for a roundtable discussion with two editors from environmental humanities journals as we discuss the nature and the direction of academic publishing in the environmental humanities. Dolly Jørgensesn, co-director of the Greenhouse, is the current editor for Environmental Humanities, and Stephanie Foote, currently a Fulbright distinguished chair at Uppsala University, co-founded the journal Resilience: A Journal of Radical Environmental Humanities and Regeneration: Environment, Art, Culture.

Join us for a great conversation over coffee and take this opportunity to ask questions to two of the field’s leading scholars.
