April Anson

I write and teach at the intersection of the environmental humanities, Indigenous and American studies, and political theory. My research uses literary analysis to trace the historical and ongoing relationship between climate change, white supremacy, and American environmental thought as well as the ongoing Indigenous environmental justice traditions that eclipse those relations. I am a cofounder of the Anti-Creep Climate Initiative, coauthor of Against the Ecofascist Creep, and was Assistant Professor of Public Humanities and Core Faculty for the Institute for Ethics and Public Affairs at San Diego State University as well as a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania in the Penn Program in Environmental Humanities (PPEH). I remain fiercely committed to anti-racist and anti-colonial knowledge production and social movements.
