Panel: Ted Howell, Peter Adkins, Rachel Murray
Ted Howell | Temple University
Ted is a PhD candidate in English Literature at Temple University completing a dissertation on modernist fiction, early ecology, and the Anthropocene. His work brings literary history into interdisciplinary conversations about the Anthropocene, and through studies of works by E.M. Forster, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and H.G. Wells, illustrates how consistently modernist fiction leverages environmental ideologies and how widely literature shapes cultural and scientific attitudes towards nature
