Dear colleagues,
We are recruiting for our second MA cohort in Nature–Culture–Sustainability
Studies. Scholarships and fellowships available. Appreciate if you might
pass on the information to interested parties.
This is an interdisciplinary Master’s program grounded in environmental
humanities and political ecology with further options to focus on a range
of topical areas from theories of nature-culture studies to
Anthropocene studies, climate change cultures to green urbanisms,
eco-literatures and global supply chains to indigenous knowledge amongst
other issues. More information and a short film on the Master’s program can
be viewed here: liberalartsmasters.risd.edu/ncss
Recent RISD/NCSS events/speakers include: Tony Fry (on decoloniality,
ecology and eco-design), Juliet Schor (plenitude and platform co-ops), Neil
Brenner (planetary urbanism), Laurence Delina (green new deal & war time
mobilization), Jesse Jenkins (eco-pragmatism & rapid decarbonization),
Alison Clark (eco-design and the legacy of Victor Papenek), Paola Antonelli
(Broken Nature eco-art futures), Asim Waqif (on public art and ecology in
India); Matt Hern (on climate change and the Tar Sands); Alyssa Battistoni
(on gender, ecosocialism and Just transitions). Many of these talks can be
watched here: https://liberalartsmasters.risd.edu/ncss/events/
Finally, you watch our recently completed two day conference: Climate
Futures, Design and the Just Transition here:
https://liberalartsmasters.risd.edu/ncss/events/climate-futures-design-and-the-just-transition/
This event also mapped a range of cutting edge discussions in
Nature-Culture-Sustainability Studies from discussions about the future of
ecosocialisms, eco-design, environmental justice studies, ecomodernisms and
degrowth to design futures and the political aesthetics of low carbon
futures.

Highfield, Graduate Program Director of Nature-Culture-Sustainability
