The Susbsurface Ecologies one-day symposium is co-organized by The University of Sussex Centre for American Studies and the Université Paris Cité, with the support of CHASE and the SSRP.
It will begin with a CHASE Environmental Humanities Publishing Roundtable aimed at postgraduates. Then, across three panels, participants will explore the implications of how underground (or underwater) subsurface ecologies have been represented in American and British literatures since the eighteenth century. The symposium will culminate in a plenary address by Professor Dana Luciano (Rutgers) whose recent book, How the Earth Feels, rethinks how geology as an emergent science related to questions of life, race, indigeneity, the human, and biopolitics in nineteenth-century US culture.
