Join Rice University’s Center for Environmental Studies for a conversation with Heather Houser, an associate professor of English at the University of Texas at Austin, and Alexis Shotwell, a professor at Carleton University.

Houser writes about contemporary culture, the environment and science. She has written two books: “Infowhelm: Environmental Art and Literature in an Age of Data” and “Ecosickness in Contemporary U.S. Fiction: Environment and Affect.” She co-founded Planet Texas 2050, an interdisciplinary climate research "grand challenge" at UT Austin, and is an associate editor at the journal Contemporary Literature.

Shotwell's work focuses on complexity, complicity, and collective transformation. She is the co-investigator for the AIDS Activist History Project and the author of “Knowing Otherwise: Race, Gender, and Implicit Understanding” and “Against Purity: Living Ethically in Compromised Times.”
