Check out Steven Hartman and Serpil Oppermann's introductory essay to Ecocene's first issue.

The journal's first issue is devoted to the theme: “Environmental Humanists Respond to the World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity.” This framing essay introduces both the vision and ambitions of the journal and the linked reasons for choosing its inaugural theme. In short, this special issue sets the tone for the journal by engaging a diverse community of scholars and researchers from the environmental humanities and social sciences and the growing field of sustainability science to respond to the World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity: A Second Notice (Ripple, et al, 2017) and the more recent World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity of a Climate Emergency (Ripple, et al. 2020) spearheaded by the Alliance of World Scientists.

Pandemics are hardly new in human history, scholar Laura Wright reminds us in her essay in the latest issue of Bifrost. The flu pandemic of 1918 drove her impoverished grandfather into the logging industry in North Carolina so that he could feed his family.

This is one among numerous examples from her essay illustrating the kinds of impacts epidemics can have on human lives via zoonosis, the spread of viruses and bacteria from one animal species to another when human activities encroach on wild habitats that may already be pushed to a very narrow and vulnerable margin.

Read the full essay in the current special issue of Bifrost devoted to environmental humanities responses to the pandemic.

In the latest issue of Bifrost devoted to Environmental Humanities responses to , scholar Kate Rigby offers a material ecospiritual perspective on the implications of the retooled social world most of us have had to get accustomed to very quickly over the past few months. "If matter matters, including the matter of our own trans-corporeal multispecies bodies," she writes, "then we should acknowledge that the richness of those exchanges that transpire when people are physically co-present to one another in a shared space cannot be replicated via the biosemiotically impoverished means of communication enabled, however wondrously, via the internet."
