Dear colleagues,

Applications are now open for the second iteration of the Colby
Summer Institute in Environmental Humanities, from August 1-7, 2020 in
downtown Waterville, Maine. Funded by the Mellon Foundation, this Institute
will bring together scholars from across the world to collectively explore
how this developing field contributes to the theorization, imagination, and
practice of socially just and ecologically hopeful futures for humans and
non-humans in a global collective.

Participants will work closely with seminar leaders Stacy Alaimo, Professor
of English at the University of Oregon, Bishnupriya Ghosh, Professor of
English and Global Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara,
and Imre Szeman, Professor of Communication Arts at the University of
Waterloo, for an intensive week of  collaborative seminars and workshops on
contemporary issues in the field.

Applications are due Feb. 1, 2020.

For more information on the application process, and to access the
application form, please click here.

Regards,
Stacy-ann
