Despair, Hope and Irony with Nicole Seymour

Rhizastance had the chance to talk to Nicole Seymour about her research. Nicole Seymour works on contemporary American literature, film, and culture, with a special interest in environmental cultural studies. Her research maps out alternative traditions of environmental activism and affect. Her first book was Strange Natures, rereads well-known queer novels and films as ecologically-minded. And we focus on her 2018 book, Bad Environmentalism: Irony and Irreverence in the Ecological Age. #irony #environment #nicoleseymour #hegemony #heteronormativity #humor #trumpism
