Environmental Humanities Research Group, Leeds

Description

The Environmental Humanities Research Group investigates the relationships between human creativity, social life and the nonhuman world.

Based in Leeds’s School of English, but working across disciplines, the group collaborates with academic and non-academic partners to conduct cutting-edge scholarship on literature and culture in the context of the global environmental crisis.

The group's interests range widely; prominent themes in work by group members include:

• postcolonial ecocriticism
• eighteenth-century and Romantic studies
• twentieth-century and contemporary poetry
• animal studies
• the ‘Anthropocene’
