Please visit my website at http://www.stephanielemenager.comStephanie LeMenager is Professor of English and affiliated Faculty in Environmental Studies at the University of Oregon. She held the Barbara and Carlisle Moore Chair from 2014 to 2024, when she chose to release it. Her publications include the books Living Oil: Petroleum Culture in the American Century (2014), Manifest and Other Destinies (2005, winner of the Western Literature Association Best Book Award), Environmental Criticism for the Twenty-First Century (2011, with Drs. Teresa Shewry and Ken Hiltner), Teaching Climate Change in the Humanities (2016, with Drs. Stephen Siperstein and Shane Hall), and the four-volume edited collection, Literature and Environment: Primary and Critical Sources (2021, with Dr. Teresa Shewry). LeMenager's third monograph, After Climate: Weather, Fiction and Lies is forthcoming from Columbia University Press, expected in Fall 2027. LeMenager is founding editor, with Dr. Stephanie Foote, of Resilience: A Journal of the Environmental Humanities, the first U.S. academic journal in the environmental humanities (c. 2024 the journal evolved into two academic publication venues, Resistance and Regeneration). LeMenager received a Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Fellowship for 2016-17, where she began her latest book, After Climate. With Dr. Marsha Weisiger (History, U.O.) LeMenager has won funding from the American Council of Learned Scholars and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to support the Center for Environmental Futures, which she and Weisiger co-directed through 2024. LeMenager served as a PI and core team member of UO's PNW Just Futures Institute for Racial and Climate Justice (2021-2024), directed by Dr. John Arroyo and Dr. Alaí Reyes-Santos. LeMenager's work has been featured in The New York Times, Time Magazine, Climate Wire, Salon, on CBC radio and NPR.
Note to Graduate Students: In 2026 I entered TRP, which is a gradual retirement program that extends over several years. This means that I teach part-time at the U. of Oregon and can serve on graduate committees. However, once in TRP a faculty member does not serve as a primary dissertation or MA advisor.
