About

The Environmental Humanities Initiative is a framework of interdisciplinary courses, faculty seminars, lecture series, visiting fellow programs, and Summer Institutes that enable sustained scholarship in the environmental humanities at Colby.

The initiative enhances opportunities for faculty collaboration across the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences through summer institutes and faculty seminars on important environmental themes, generating new scholarship to be disseminated throughout the environmental humanities community worldwide. It supports faculty in their development of project-based, laboratory-style and interdisciplinary courses on historical, cultural and ethical questions about the environment, and in their use of tools of the digital humanities to analyze, interpret and convey scientific and cultural knowledge about environmental issues. It brings leading artists, writers and thinkers to the Colby campus, and enables new partnerships with scholars, artists and practitioners from outside the campus community.
