Resilience is a brand-new digital, peer-reviewed journal published by the University of Nebraska Press. The journal’s mission is to provide a forum for scholars from across Humanities disciplines to speak to one another about their shared interest in environmental issues, and to plot out an evolving conversation about what the Humanities contributes to living and thinking sustainably in a world of dwindling resources.

We are interested in narratives produced through or around objects, geographic spaces, information cultures, political agendas, and social movements central to environmental practices and ideas. We are interested in how narratives about environmental practices and ideas circulate globally and locally, and in how investigating them can reveal points of shared commitment or impasses.

We welcome essays of around 5K words that are written in a clear style, that attempt to make disciplinary knowledge accessible to a range of readers, and that pay attention to the intellectual commitments that drive their analyses. Resilience is also interested in photo essays and reports on community activism.
