Ada Smailbegović, assistant professor of English at Brown University, will present the second talk in the Ecotheories Colloquium — this event is free and open to Princeton University faculty, staff and students. Smailbegović’s writing explores relations between poetics, non-human forms of materiality, and histories of description. She is a co-founder of The Organism for Poetic Research.
The Ecotheories Colloquium will focus on ecotheories and ecopoetics — the work of scholars for whom ecology becomes a foundation for theories of literature, and for whom literature becomes a foundation for theories of ecology. Ecotheories is the 2022-23 installment of the Contemporary Poetry Colloquium based in the Princeton Department of English and is cosponsored by HMEI, The Environmental Media Lab, the Bain-Swiggett Poetry Fund, the Effron Center for the Study of America, the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in the Humanities, and the University Center for Human Values.
