The Ego and the Eco: Alex Menrisky and the Identity Politics of Ecology ASLE EcoCast Podcast

You can submit an Eco Quick Fiction here by May 15 2021:  https://forms.gle/nG7WwTSzJHP86tZw7 (or find the link pinned on our twitter).
In this month’s episode, Jemma and Brandon sit down with Alex Menrisky, lecturer in English and Communication at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, to discuss his recent book Wild Abandon: American Literature and the Identity Politics of Ecology. What follows is a fascinating conversation on the historical ties of environmentalism to psychoanalysis and counterculture movements.
We apologize for the audio/technical issues in this month’s episode. We did our best to clean them up, but there are a few moments where you might hear some slight crackles, pops, or echoes. Those shouldn’t distract you from what is still a wonderful episode!
