Environment and Culture Caucus
Environment and Culture Caucus
Caucus Liaisons: Joni Adamson, Joni.Adamson@asu.edu; Adam Sweeting, sweeting@bu.edu The Environment and Culture Caucus works within the American Studies Association to promote further work on the environment, broadly understood, within the association. We sponsor a panel each year at the ASA national meeting, work to organize numerous other panels on environmental issues at the conference, and engage is a variety of other efforts to raise the profile of environmental work within and around the ASA and American Studies as a field. We are interested in furthering more work that reflects historical and cultural analysis of environmental issues and concerns, and hope to demonstrate the relevance of environmental scholarship to the central issues of race, class, gender, sexuality and colonialism at the heart of much work in American culture studies.
The ECC sponsors the ANNETTE KOLODNY PRIZE for the best paper on an environment and culture theme at the ASA conference. The prize includes a cash award. For information on the "Annette Kolodny Prize," please contact Joni Adamson.
