Member Bio
Alexandra Campbell is a lecturer in English literature at the University of Glasgow specializing in poetry and environment. Her current research interests revolve around issues of waste, energy, water, and marine justice in contemporary world literature. She is particularly interested in examining how poetic texts manifest asymmetries of power and conditions of unevenness that are shaped by contemporary water crises, oceanic and otherwise. She is increasingly fascinated by the emergent fields of infrastructure studies and critical future studies and the ways in which the poetics of infrastructure shape, condition, promise, or prohibit certain ideas of the future. Working with Dr. Fred Carter, their RCC project “Insurgent Ecologies” examined the relations between insurgency and ecology within the climate activist movement.
