Essay Question.

“Scholars in the environmental humanities begin with a principled refusal of the ‘compartmentalisation of ‘the environment’ from other spheres of concern’ (Neimanis et al., 2015: 67). From this perspective, nature and culture, facts and values, scientific and human dimensions, cannot be neatly separated out from each other. The always culturally and historically specific ways in which societies—including our own—understand and relate to their environments, matter profoundly.”
