I'm thrilled to be editing the “Elements,” book series, with Nicole Starosielski + Courtney Berger, for Duke University Press.

 The Elements series seeks texts attuned to the material specificity of their sites and objects of study--texts that travel where that materiality takes them. The series welcomes projects with a commitment to examining social and cultural processes in relation to particular forms of matter, regardless of disciplinary approach. In assembling diverse inquiries into particular forms of matter, we hope that the series will be a meeting ground for work on earth, water, air, chemicals, minerals, fuels, plastics, and other such substances as they circulate and interact with and as part of environmental, technological, cultural and political formations. Please contact me if you are interested in publishing in this series.) Check it out!: https://www.dukeupress.edu/series/Elements

"Science Studies and the Blue Humanities," essay cluster for the Science, Literature, and the Arts (SLSA) journal, Configurations. Fall 2019. 

The essays, position papers, provocations, and artist statements in this special issue, explore the significance of science studies for the development of the blue humanities. As oceans and bodies of fresh water increasingly become sites for environmentally-oriented arts and humanities scholarship, how can the emerging blue humanities best engage with the theories, questions, paradigms, and methods of science studies? How do questions of scale, temporality, materiality, and mediation emerge in aquatic zones and modes? How can literature, art, data visualization, and digital media best respond to the rapidly developing sciences of ocean acidification and climate change as well as the less publicized concerns such as the effect of military sonar on cetaceans? Essays by Steve Mentz, Serpil Oppermann, Lisa Han, Brandon Jones, Mandy Bloomfield, Melody Jue, Megan Fernandes, and Teresa Shewry.
