The application period is 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.
