Alf Seegert -- Ph.D, English; M.A., English; M.S., Environmental Philosophy
Hi! I am an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in the Department of English at the University of Utah. My course topics include nature and virtuality, critical theory, environmental literature, and general courses on literature and film. My research on ecocriticism and cyberculture explores how our use of interfaces alters our sense of body, space and place--and how narratives represent these effects.
