The Environment, Culture, and Sustainability Quadrant promotes the research, development, publication, and dissemination of critical works on the social and cultural aspects of environmental policy, land use, and ecological sustainability as well as theoretical projects dealing with their visual and textual representations. Work is encouraged in interdisciplinary projects from scholars in art history and criticism, literature, theory and philosophy, anthropology, rhetoric, sociology, geography, and communications, as well as scholars located in the newly formed Institute on the Environment.
