Cultures of Environment, Space and Place

From the challenges of climate change, ‘natural disasters’, and environmental pollution, to histories of travel writing, and experiences of urban life in local and global contexts, the Cultures of Environment, Space and Place strand brings together scholars working in history, literature, and media studies to explore the construction, use and representation of the environment over time.
