Or what influence does a single person have over governments as they deal (or choose not to deal) with sea level rise, climate migration, monster hurricanes and wildfires, and other catastrophes associated with the out-of-control overheating of our planet?\u00a0 What about mass shootings, resurgent white supremacy, the rise of \u201cilliberal democracy,\u201d the weaponization of social media, or any number of the other ills that threaten to metastasize into full-blown planetary emergencies?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Scholars in most mainstream humanities circles, understandably preoccupied with the grim \u201cendgame\u201d (<a href=\"http:\/\/connect.chronicle.com\/rs\/931-EKA-218\/images\/ChronicleReview_Endgame.pdf\">http:\/\/connect.chronicle.com\/rs\/931-EKA-218\/images\/ChronicleReview_Endgame.pdf<\/a>) of declining enrollments and budget cuts playing out in academic departments at universities all over the map, have had relatively little to say about the climate and extinction crises.\u00a0 On the other hand, scholars in fields such as ecocriticism and the energy and environmental humanities have been grappling for years with questions about the rapidly worsening state of the biosphere and related social problems.\u00a0 The trouble with many academic conversations about these things is that, however interesting they may be to their participants, they are, indeed, academic conversations: discussions carried out among specialists in language that ordinary people find off-putting or simply unintelligible; discussions that too rarely translate to meaningful action; discussions that perpetuate academic \u201cbusiness as usual,\u201d advancing the careers of individual humanists but mostly failing to spark collective change and the growth of the sorts of inter- and extra-disciplinary alliances that hold the greatest promise of actually transforming the petrocultural impasse we currently inhabit.\u00a0 And, of course, much of the dialogue still happens at conferences with enormous carbon footprints.\u00a0 No matter how convivial and edifying the gatherings are, this fact lends a bitter taste of <em>flygskam<\/em> (Swedish: \u201cflight shame\u201d) to the proceedings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">As we continue to examine the meaning of the humanities in a time of emergency, scholars must find ways to bridge academic critique and research with the work that non-academic communities are doing in response to the existential threats of what many have come to call the Anthropocene.
