PZF '24: ASU Desert Humanities Initiative

We are an initiative started in the Arizona State University Humanities Institute. We are a collective of faculty, staff, students, and community members. provide opportunities to immerse in urban and rural desert sites in order to engage their textured histories, diverse ecologies, and possible futures.

Desert spaces have long nourished artistic and humanistic work, but also distinctive possibilities for the flourishing of life in the past, present, and future. The Desert Humanities Initiative fosters both of these dimensions by (1.) Supporting work that analyzes, critiques, and transforms our relationships to deserts and is in service to the communities who inhabit them, and (2.) Providing opportunities to immerse in urban and rural desert sites in order to engage their textured histories, diverse ecologies, and possible futures.

Themes include: Nature, ecology, climate, community, Sonoran Desert
