Umwelt Wiki for Key Concepts in the (Germanic) Environmental Humanities

The Umwelt Center for Germanic Studies and Environmental Humanities at The Ohio State University is an international research center dedicated to exploring the intersections of Environmental Humanities and Germanic Studies, while forging connections to a variety of disciplines and perspectives. Among the initiatives of the Center is the establishment of an open-access Umwelt Wiki, a lexicon for key concepts in Germanic Studies and Environmental Humanities, for which we are now inviting submissions. The project seeks to map out foundational and emerging ideas shaping the field. 

We are accepting new entries on a rolling basis as we work towards expanding the wiki into a substantial resource. 

If you are interested in contributing, please reach out to Anna-Maria Senuysal at senuysal.1@osu.edu.
