Associate Professor Philip Steer PhD, MA
Associate Professor
Doctoral Supervisor School of Humanities Media and Creative CommMy research focuses on the culture, economics, and environments of settler colonialism, espeically in nineteenth-century Australia and New Zealand. My current work explores the idea of settler literature as a form of environmental knowledge, and asks what the colonial past might tell us about the cultural dimensions of present-day environmental problems. I am recipient of two Marsden grants, author of Settler Colonialism in Victorian Literature: Economics and Political Identity in the Networks of Empire (Cambridge, 2020), and co-editor with Nathan K. Hensley of Ecological Form: System and Aesthetics in the Age of Empire (Fordham, 2019).
