Imperialism, Narrative and the Environment Workshop
From 11-13 October, Dr Anthony Carrigan will be coordinating a workshop on the core research theme of ecological imperialism. The workshop deals with environmental problems, such as climate change, deforestation, toxicity, the food crisis, and water and agricultural resource management. While the field of literary studies is sometimes seen as distant from empirical and scientific concerns about global climate change and other ecological crises, the workshop will emphasize the profound ways in which our understandings of the history of imperialism and the environment are embedded in language, narrative, media, and the cultural imagination. Participants will examine points of overlap and divergence in the narrative forms of imperial history and ecocriticism.
