Leeds Environmental Humanities Research Group

About

The Leeds Environmental Humanities Research Group (envhums.leeds.ac.uk) is a network for environmental approaches to interdisciplinary literary studies. They have been based since 2011 in the School of English at the University of Leeds. They have a long record of collaboration with researchers in other fields at Leeds and beyond; with non-academic partners, particularly in the north of England; and with funding organisations. Their work ranges broadly, with a special emphasis on eighteenth- to nineteenth-century Britain, and on global, postcolonial, and decolonial ecocriticism. They are on Twitter @LeedsEnvHums.
