Cymene Howe is a Professor of Anthropology at Rice University, specializing in ecosocial phenomena and more-than-human worlds. Her books include Intimate Activism (Duke 2013) and Ecologics: Wind and Power in the Anthropocene (Duke 2019). She is co-editor of The Johns Hopkins Guide to Critical and Cultural Theory and Anthropocene Unseen: A Lexicon (Punctum 2020). Her current research on cryohuman relations examines the changing dynamics between human populations and bodies of ice in the Arctic region and sea-level adaptation in coastal cities around the world. She co-produced the documentary film Not Ok: A Little Movie about a Small Glacier at the End of the World (2019) and initiated the installation of the world’s first memorial to a glacier fallen to climate change. The Okjökull memorial event in Iceland served as a global call to action and in memory of a world rapidly melting away.
