In doing so, it reminds us that our ideals are often expressed in what we grow, and teaches us how we are caught up in the cross-currents of culture and the rule of nature.

Mauch and Trischler discuss the need for coordinated study of environmental humanities and offer examples of projects pursued by scholars at the Center. They conclude by outlining the six research clusters of the RCC and highlighting its activities, which include colloquia, summer schools, international conferences, and exhibitions.

In his talk, Mauch notes that while people are paying more and more attention to the environment, the discipline of environmental history remains marginal. Yet, Mauch argues, we cannot understand our place in the world or the possibilities for the future without studying environmental history and the environmental humanities more generally. What we make of our global environment, Mauch concludes, is closely connected the way that we choose to tell and interpret the story and the stories of the interaction between nature and culture.

It is also an exploration of South Africa's contributions to world environmental history and the sister disciplines along its edges. A pioneer of environmental history in South Africa, Jane Carruthers is also a leader in global and transnational environmental history and a distinguished biographer. This volume explores some of the partnerships between environmental history and other intellectual endeavours, particularly those where Jane Carruthers' work has been inspirational: animal studies, natural resource management, the history of biology, and the broader environmental humanities.

Buell’s The Environmental Imagination: Thoreau, Nature Writing, and the Formation of American Culture (1995) marked the first major attempt to understand the green tradition of environmental writing, nonfiction as well as fiction, beginning in colonial times and continuing into the present day. With Thoreau’s Walden as a touchstone, this seminal book provided an account of the place of nature in the history of Western thought. Other highly acclaimed monographs include Writing for an Endangered World (2001), a book that brought industrialized and exurban landscapes into conversation with one other, and The Future of Environmental Criticism: Environmental Crisis and Literary Imagination (2009), which provides a critical survey of th...
