Environment
This open-access, peer-reviewed, international scholarly journal (and community) grew out of EcoCultureLab’s collaborations with a network of scholars working at the intersections of media studies and environment. It is published by the University of California Press and supported by a consortium of institutional sponsors including EcoCultureLab. See mediaenviron.org.

Research Raps
These irregular scholarly chat sessions cover topics of interest to faculty, grad students, and others engaged in research (loosely defined as exploration and discovery). The goal is to contribute to a “collective train of thought” around environment, the arts/humanities, and the current global situation. The focus is sometimes selected/curated readings, and sometimes a guest speaker.
Speaker Series
EcoCultureLab hosts and co-hosts visits by speakers, artists, and activists working at the confluence of environment, media, and the arts. In Burlington, speakers have included philosopher and anthropologist of science Bruno Latour, eco-activist and author Starhawk, musician and eco-philosopher David Rothenberg, eco-artist/designer Natalie Jeremijenko, environmental writer and critic John Elder, and numerous others. Events have also included film screenings and panel discussions. Videos of some of these are available on the Videos Page.
