Author Biography

  • Nathaniel Otjen, University of Oregon

    Nathaniel Otjen is a doctoral student in Environmental Sciences, Studies and Policy (Focal Department: English) at the University of Oregon. As a scholar of the environmental humanities, he studies the beings and things that inhabit contemporary literature. He has a particular interest in the ways animals, plants, and material objects function as characters in an emerging literary genre he is calling “multispecies memoir.” The multispecies memoir places narratives of human development alongside the biographies of animals, plants, and materials to tell stories of entanglement and becoming.
