Teresa Shewry is assistant professor of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She is a coeditor of Environmental Criticism for the Twenty-First Century.
"Teresa Shewry’s Hope at Sea is a rich and informative study of how
hope somehow emerges within the embattled contexts of social
injustice and environmental destruction."—Stacy Alaimo, University
of Texas, Arlington
"The depth of scientific and literary research that underpins Hope
at Sea and the convincing argument for the role of the imagination
and its creative endeavors in sustaining life, making this a book
of great significance."—Australasian Journal of American Studies"A
rich archive of poems, short stories, and novels."—Native American
and Indigenous Studies Journal"What stands out for me in Shewry’s
approach is the copresence of the lyrical, plaintive, yet hopeful
sensibility she brings to reading."—The Contemporary Pacific
"This is timely and relevant work that makes a compelling and
original contribution to Oceanic, postcolonial, Indigenous, and
ecocritical literary studies." —Recherche Littéraire
