Fred Carter is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Glasgow funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). Since completing a doctoral thesis at the University of Edinburgh in 2022, he has held positions as research associate with Regenerative Energy Communities at Linnaeus University and Saltire Emerging Researcher Scheme at the University of Amsterdam, where he is co-director of the residency program FieldARTS. His current research is situated at the intersection of Marxist literary criticism and energy humanities, tracing the poetics of exhaustion and politics of refusal that emerge in the wake of intersecting crises of petroleum, productivity, and social reproduction in 1973. He is co-editor of a special issue of Green Letters on “Militant Ecologies” and is collaborating with Alexandra Campbell on a series of articles on sabotage, infrastructural dispossession, and the political ecology of policing. His first poetry chapbook, Outages, is forthcoming with Veer2.
