PhD in English- Environmental and Energy Humanities in St. Johns Canada | Memorial University of Newfoundland

In a region where nature powerfully shapes daily life, Memorial University offers the perfect perspective to examine environmental issues. Our scholars investigate the intersections of culture and environment across different historical periods and locations, while studying how literature, graphic novels, cinema, and other media transform our understanding of nature and humanity's role within it. The university specializes in the growing field of Energy Humanities, which recognizes how energy systems deeply influence social structures, cultural practices, and political systems - often in unseen ways. As noted by Dominic Boyer and Imre Szeman, contemporary energy and ecological crises fundamentally involve questions of "morality, daily practices, creative vision, principles, organizations, convictions, and authority - all core domains of humanistic study."
