The Environmental Humanities at Colby is excited to announce that the application period for the 2022 Colby Summer Institute in Environmental Humanities is now open. This Institute gathers scholars from around the globe to collectively explore how this growing field contributes to the theorization, imagination, and practice of socially just and ecologically hopeful futures for humans and nonhumans. If you are an academic, artist, activist, or independent scholar with a passion for the environmental humanities, we invite you to join us in Waterville, Maine from August 1-7, 2022, for a week of seminars, lectures, workshops, field trips, and other events.
This year, we have increased the number of seminar leaders, allowing us to accept more applicants than in previous years. The third annual Summer Institute seminar leaders will be Sunil Amrith, Professor of History at Yale University; Mel Chen, Associate Professor of Gender & Women’s Studies and Director of the Center for the Study of Sexual Culture at the University of California, Berkeley; Elizabeth DeLoughrey, Professor of English at the University of California, Los Angeles; and Kathryn Yusoff, Professor of Inhuman Geography at Queen Mary University of London.
