Buell's work is foundational in eco-criticism. The Environmental Imagination is a dialogue with a series of writers, especially Henry David Thoreau, about how humans represent non-human nature.

Right now I am with the Literaturcamp Heidelberg in Germany, a barcamp with about 200 participants talking about all modern things literature... Tons of interesting sessions, I have to say - self-publishing, digital publishing, social media for authors, writing exposés and more!
This weekend I'm reading Heather Houser's "Ecosickness in Contemporary U.S Fiction," which examines affect as a method through which "ecosickness fiction" raises environmental concern. The suggestion that emotion can move people from empirical knowledge to action is a particularly gratifying one as a humanities student! #ecocriticism #study #research #englishstudent
