The Critical Environments fellowship supports nonfiction writing (scholarly, trade, journalism) that explores relations between capitalism and nature and how those relations affect the health and well-being of humans and other species. The fellowship funds writing that explores capitalism’s historical legacies and current dynamics, including its racial and colonial manifestations, as well as possibilities for more just and ecologically benign futures. While selection priority will be given to book projects being considered for or are in contract with the Critical Environments book series at University of California Press, writers whose work otherwise aligns with the fellowship remit are encouraged to apply.
