“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Congratulations Angie

My Ph.D student Angie Lewandowski received an honorable mention in this year's best essay competition, run by the Association for the Study of Literature and the Environment (ASLE). Her essay is on Benjamin, Ranciere and other things and it's called "The Ecopoetics of Emergency."

Angie is one of those Ph.D. students about whom one has no worries whatsoever.
