Association for the Study of Literature and the Environment 9th Biennial Conference

The Association for the Study of Literature and the Environment (ASLE) will host its ninth biennial conference at Indiana University in Bloomington June 22 – 26 (with pre-conference activities on June 21). I was recently notified, along with 3 colleagues from the University of North Texas (Nathan Bell, Ivana Corsales, and Dr. Robert M. Figueroa), that our panel proposal was accepted. The theme of the panel is “Heritage and Horizons of Environmental Justice.” The purpose of the panel is to explore the roots of the environmental justice movement (EJM) and environmental justice studies (EJS) while looking to the important contributions that philosophical hermeneutics can offer its future. Hermeneutics has much to offer in terms of heritage and history, place and dwelling, identity, discourse, and future planning. We hope to make this case on the panel.

The conference is yet several months away. But stay tuned to this blog for any updates, especially following the conference itself.
