Environmental Humanities and Speculative Fiction Reading Group
The reading group will explore places where environmental humanities, archaeology and speculative fiction overlap. During the meetings, the group will read and discuss a range of texts - academic and fictional - and may write their own texts about possible futures. The reading group is open to everyone who would like to join.
Forest loss is a global crisis. In Sweden, diverse old growth forests are replaced by clearcuts and vulnerable monocultures. Everyday experience of life with local forest loss is increasing, but is critically understudied.
