Marisa Parham is Director of the Five College Digital Humanities Program and Professor of English (with affiliations in the departments of Black Studies & Film and Media Studies) at Amherst College. Her “Black Haunts in the Anthropocene” digital essay, motivated by a sense that our contemporary consciousness of the anthropocene is in itself a media effect, explores how contemporary cultural, political, and scientific notions of the ‘anthropocene’ cohere with matters of temporality in recent black literature and culture.
