Aldo Leopold: The “Fierce Green Fire” of Sustainability

My research interests stem from these observations: 1) the humanities are central to sustainability, both its articulation and continuation; 2) Aldo Leopold’s application of this humanistic disposition contributed to his “Land Ethic,” a seminal statement on sustainability; and 3) Leopold’s intellectual rambles reflect sustainability’s central economic, social, political, and environmental tensions. With these assumptions framing my research, I will complete a publishable paper on Aldo Leopold’s 40-year intellectual development that underscores sustainability’s essential humanistic nature.
