ES PhD: The Environmental Humanities

One hallmark of our program is the integration of the humanistic understanding needed to address pressing environmental issues. The environmental humanities integrate a broad range of approaches through an environmental lens, including history, the literary arts, the visual arts, humanistic geography, theology and anthropology. The humanities can be both a sanctuary and a means to strengthen environmental research and practice.
