These lines are from The Environmental Humanities Newsletter, published by University of Oregon’s Environmental Studies Program in 2014. Such programs and centres now proliferate in universities from North America to Europe and Australia, indicating the growing influence of this burgeoning field of study. As concisely defined in the opening pages of the Newsletter, the field of the Environmental Humanities is interdisciplinary. It brings the social sciences, the humanities, and the natural sciences together in diverse ways to address the current ecological crises from closely knit ethical, cultural, philosophical, political, social, and biological perspectives. Engaging with the global reach of old and new environmental challenges, values, environmental justice issues, and theoretical conceptions of the human and nonhuman natures, the Environmental Humanities address the complexities of material networks that cross through local and global cultures, economic and social practices, and political discourses. As Andrew Pickering concedes, science studies and the humanities ‘are mangled in practice’(1995, 23) in a common effort to develop a comprehensive approach to the multifaceted aspects of environmental crises. It is therefore not surprising to observe that the Environmental Humanities offer a rich array of scholarship with combined insights from many research fields. They forge reconfiguration and extension of the notions of nature, agency, and materiality, which are intertwined coconstitutively in formulating new theoretical models of environmentality that coalesce human and nonhuman ecologies.
