Abstract

This chapter is based on an interview conducted with Dr. Christof Mauch, Director of the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society in Munich, Germany during the summer of 2017. Its goal is to explore with him the contribution of this centre to the environmental humanities since its foundation in 2009 as well as his perspective on the development of the field from the privileged vantage point of managing one of the most prestigious institutions in the field worldwide and a pioneer in Europe. This piece intends to offer an overview on the origins and growth of the environmental humanities in the European context aided by my personal academic experience as a Spanish ecocritic as well as readings of state-of-the-art bibliography in the environmental humanities. With this, without forgetting to mention its many challenges, I eventually aim at giving the reader a sense of the diverse nature of the environmental humanities as well as its potential in a time when an urgent need to transitioning to new ways of living and doing academic work are needed.
