Ecocritical literary studies,&nbsp; green cultural studies, ecomedia studies, environmental communication, ecocomposition and ecopoetics, ecomusicology, and other subfields are contributing to a burgeoning movement of environmental arts and humanities. Much of my teaching, advising, and writing has been somewhere within this spectrum.<br><br>My book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wlupress.wlu.ca\/Books\/E\/Ecologies-of-the-Moving-Image2\">Ecologies of the Moving Image: Cinema, Affect, Nature<\/a> presents what is arguably the most comprehensive of analysis of moving images &#8212; including films, videos, and their predecessors &#8212; from a rigorously theorized eco-philosophical perspective. You can read excerpts from about a dozen reviews of it on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wlupress.wlu.ca\/Books\/E\/Ecologies-of-the-Moving-Image2\">publisher&#8217;s web site<\/a>, and overviews and supplements on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/aivakhiv\/2014\/12\/29\/emis-cinematic-materialism-a-response-to-reviews\/\">my blog<\/a> and on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/e2mc\/2013\/09\/11\/ecologies-of-the-moving-image-online-course\/\">e2mc<\/a>, which was used as a course blog for a class I taught based on the book.
