About This Journal
Aims & Scope
Green Humanities: A Journal of Ecological Thought in Literature, Philosophy & the Arts (ISSN 2377-9977) is an open-access, no-fee electronic journal established in 2015 to emphasize the importance and power of the humanities–a book, a poem or a work of art for example—to influence public opinion and inspire engagement with ecological issues and causes. Green Humanities aims to place the humanities on the frontlines not only of cutting-edge eco-criticism, but also of the environmental debates that will shape and determine our very world. We envision varied collaborations and juxtapositions of scholarship within the humanities as well as environmental sciences and related fields–all with the overarching goal of coaxing our global society toward a more sustainable future.Frequency
The journal is published on a semi-regular basis.
