The Narrative and Aesthetic Strategies of Climate Change Comics
How do we get the news about climate change to readers resistant to it? As a hyperobject, climate change is too big to think about, too traumatic to envision. Both imagination and reason recoil from this wicked problem. In this chapter, I survey a range of recent graphic narratives about climate change, showing how they address the narrative and aesthetic challenges posed by climate change by drawing on strategies specific to the comics medium. T…
The Sky Is Falling
The rhetoric of risk and safety has shaped, and unfortunately limited, our contemporary reservoir of responses to H5N1, the avian flu virus. This essay turns to an old children's story, "The Story of Chicken-Licken," to recover the folk wisdom obscured with the development of industrial poultry farming.

This article considers the modern discip…
Interspecies Reproduction
This article explores the image of interspecies reproduction, arguably the most disturbing of the range of contemporary images of reproductive technology, as both a metaphor of some historical standing and as a new, and troubling, medical/scientific capability. Moving from the 1994 report of the Human Embryo Research Panel of the NIH, also known as the Muller Panel, through a range of sites – natural history, popular science writing, social criti…
