The
CULTURE & ECOLOGY
Page
This
site provides links to scholarly and informational resources in
environmental/ecological
thought & politics, cultural studies, science & technology
studies, cultural geography, and related areas, focusing on the interaction between human
cultural activities and the natural world. It's far from exhaustive, so feel free to write me with your comments, suggestions for
additional links, etc. The page has been on an extensive sabbatical and many of
the links are outdated, but they will gradually be brought up to date…
Environmental
/ ecological thought includes the broad array
of approaches (both scholarly and activist) addressing various
manifestations of the environmental and ecological crisis: whether through
a concern for protecting "natural" environments and ecosystems,
critiquing existing practices and ideas (with the aid of theoretical
perspectives such as biocentrism, ecofeminism, social/political ecology,
environmental justice, and cultural "ecocriticism"), or through
the critical understanding of the environments of our everyday lives.
