An Interview With
By Simoné Walt
Does the future seem bleak according to the last sci-fi film you watched? Or perhaps even the last news article you read? It doesn’t necessarily have to be. I sat down with Dr. Moira Marquis, a Postdoctoral Fellow in the department of English at the University of North Carolina atChapel Hill, for a video chat about her research interests at the intersection of colonialism and ecocriticism. We talked about the importance of examining colonial legacies of the past; alternative epistemologies and ways of being in the present; and art that lights the way for the future.
