My work on the apocalyptic imagination engages with the idea of the Anthropocene, the current geological epoch defined by human devastating impact on the Earth system. With Daniel Cordle, I edited The Literature of the Anthropocene, a special issue of C21 Literature: Journal of 21st-Century Writing (2018).
You can find my writings on the Anthropocene here:
- “Introduction: The Literature of the Anthropocene.” The Literature of the Anthropocene. Special issue of C21 Literature: Journal of 21st-Century Writing 6.1 (2018). (Co-authored with Daniel Cordle)
- “Contemporary Studies Network Roundtable: Responding to Robert Macfarlane’s ‘Generation Anthropocene’.” Open Library of Humanities 3.1 (2017). (Co-authored with Rachel Sykes et al.)
I’m currently writing a chapter for The Expanse and Philosophy (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series), edited by Jeffery Nicholas, on the TV series The Expanse and the philosophy of the Anthropocene.
