The third talk of the Ecological Emergency Series brings Prof Alexa Weik Von Mossner, from the University of Klagenfurt. She is a writer and an ecocritical literary and media scholar. Her research explores contemporary environmental culture from a cognitive perspective with a particular focus on affect and emotion. She is especially interested in climate change (non)fiction, environmental documentaries, and food narratives. In this talk, she will present the development and methods of the field of ecocriticism along with her personal experience as someone who is coming to this interdisciplinary research as a humanities scholar and narratologist.
