Arcadiana – A Blog about Literature, Culture and the Environment
Call for Submissions
We are currently looking for submissions for Arcadiana, an upcoming blog hosted by postgraduate members of the European Association for Literature, Culture and the Environment (EASLCE).
We invite submissions on the subjects of literature, culture and the environment by postgraduate and early career researchers working in and across the disciplines of the environmental humanities who are interested in making the field accessible to a public audience. Posts can discuss topics from all periods of literary, cultural and natural history from all geographical areas but should highlight their ongoing relevance in relating them to a current moment or event. You do not need to be a member of EASLCE to submit a blog post.
