Joseph Campana is a poet, arts writer, and scholar of the literature and culture of early modern England, a time of climatic instability many refer to as the Little Ice Age. Recent projects consider early modern understandings of humanity, creaturely life, personhood, scale, affect, waste, and other concerns refracted through a range of arts and media, from poetry and theater to political theory and natural history. Campana serves as the William Shakespeare Professor of English, the Director of the Center for Environmental Studies and ENST minor, and a co-PI on the Mellon Foundation-funded Diluvial Houston grant at Rice University.
