As a scholar and teacher, I explore understandings of the human relationship to nature. We express these understandings in many ways: through literature, history, art, and science, and even through the places we call home. I study these forms of expression, uncovering how they shape history, our lives, and the landscapes that sustain us—as well as our collective future.
