Amber Lehning, PhD
Hello, and welcome! I am an independent scholar operating at the juncture of myth and the environment. My interdisciplinary research concentrates on the powerful influence of ancient and modern myths on human societies, via comparative mythology, religious studies, philosophy, literary source criticism, and ecocriticism. I am particularly interested in the mythic influence of modern speculative fiction and New Media storytelling.
My new book The Map of Wilderland: Ecocritical Reflections on Tolkien’s Myth of Wilderness is NOW AVAILABLE! Click below to order!
