ASLE Virtual Conference 2021 Panel

Sponsored by the Ecocritical Visual Culture ASLE Interest Group

A lightning-round session in which 6-8 panelists will share ONE image/object and in a short (5-10 minute) presentation, explain how exploring this image/object in the classroom can introduce students to ecocriticism and facilitate its use as an analytical tool. The presentations will be followed by a round-robin discussion and Q & A, in which panelists will talk about their experiences using images as ‘object lessons,’ and/or other innovative ways that visual culture benefits the environmental humanities, and the environmental humanities can broaden the purview of art history. Please specify which image/ object you wish to discuss, how you found it useful to teaching ecocritical visual culture, and how you think this kind of work is useful to expanding beyond the boundaries of ‘traditional’ art history.
