About the Issue:
Today human life is circled with innumerable environmental crises, as a consequence of which ecocriticism and environmental humanities, in a last few years, have become a more interested field of studies among writers, academics and scholars. With an aim to sustainable development towards our environment, this special issue appeals for a holistic relationship between human and nature so that the present threats that have taken a gigantic form in our nature and environment can be remedied sooner than later. Since ecocriticism is now an interdisciplinary study under the umbrella of environmental humanities, this special issue focuses studies not only on traditional disciplines of humanities like history, philosophy, literary and cultural studies, but also on social sciences such as sociology and natural sciences like biology and environmental science.
