    Editor-in-Chief Biographies

    Alenda Y. Chang (PhD UC Berkeley) is Assistant Professor of Film and Media Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara and an affiliated faculty member of the Department of Theater and Dance. With a multidisciplinary background in biology, literature, and film, she specializes in merging environmental criticism with the analysis of contemporary media. Her writing has been featured in Ant Spider Bee, Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment, Qui Parle, the Journal of Gaming & Virtual Worlds, and Ecozon@, and her first book Playing Nature: A Field Guide to Video Games (forthcoming Fall 2019, University of Minnesota Press), develops ecological frameworks for understanding and designing digital games. Chang is also the co-founder of the digital media studio Wireframe, which was established to support collaborative and cutting-edge research and teaching in new media with an emphasis on global human rights, social justice, and environmental concerns.

    Adrian Ivakhiv is the Steven Rubenstein Professor for Environment and Natural Resources, and a professor of environmental thought and culture at the University of Vermont. His research and teaching are focused at the intersections of ecology, culture, media, philosophy, religion, and the creative arts. His books include Claiming Sacred Ground: Pilgrims and Politics at Glastonbury and Sedona (Indiana University Press, 2001), Ecologies of the Moving Image: Cinema, Affect, Nature (Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2013), and Shadowing the Anthropocene: Eco-Realism for Turbulent Times (Punctum Books, 2018). As coordinator of the EcoCultureLab, he organizes arts events and symposia including 2018’s Feverish World (2018-2068): Arts and Sciences of Collective Survival. He has served as president of the Environmental Studies Association of Canada, an executive editor of the Encyclopedia of Religion and Nature (Thoemmes Continuum Press, 2005), and on the editorial boards of several journals including Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature, and Culture, Green Letters, The Journal of Ecocriticism, Environmental Communication, and two book series in the environmental humanities.

    Janet Walker (PhD UCLA) is Professor of Film and Media Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara and an affiliated faculty member of the Department of Feminist Studies and the Comparative Literature Program. She received the Distinguished Teaching Award from UCSB in 2001. With research specializations including documentary film and media, trauma and memory studies, and media and environment, Walker is author or editor of six books and numerous published essays including Trauma Cinema: Documenting Incest and the Holocaust (UC Press, 2005), Documentary Testimonies: Global Archives of Suffering (co-edited with Bhaskar Sarkar, Routledge 2010), and Media: Critical Approaches to Media and Environment (with Nicole Starosielski, Routledge, 2016). Walker co-organized the 2012-13 Figuring Sea Level Rise theme of the campus’s Critical Issues in America series and the four-day event Water Is Life: Standing with Standing Rock. With colleagues, she received a short-term residency grant from the Rachel Carson Center in Munich, Germany to develop Media+Environment and is the recipient of a Mellon Sawyer Seminar grant for the project Energy Justice in Global Perspective (2017-2019) with UCSB Professors Javiera Barandiarán, Mona Damluji, Stephan Miescher, and David Pellow. Her current book-in-progress concerns site-specific media, mapping, and the environment.
