The Living Lexicon for the Environmental Humanities is a series of 1,000 word essays. Each essay highlights the importance of a particular keyword, demonstrating how it might help the Environmental Humanities to move in interesting directions that take seriously a dual imperative for critique and action. The pieces are both scholarly and creative, and include personal reflections by authors and experimental musings based on their own research. The Lexicon aims for concise, provocative prose, rather than dictionary-style entries. Lexicon entries are peer-reviewed using a standard double-blind process.

Each essay will be published in a special section of the journal Environmental Humanities and will also be included on this dedicated page within the journal’s community website.
