Gregg Mitman and Rob Nixon’s dialogue explores how disciplinary forms of knowledge and representation shape understanding in environmental studies. Mitman challenges the rigidity of disciplinary boundaries, advocating for a view that embraces symbiotic relationships, and critiques neoliberal individualism. Nixon extends this critique by highlighting Indigenous cosmologies that resist dominant narratives, emphasizing storytelling as a tool for environmental justice. Their discussion underscores the need for interdisciplinary approaches that include diverse voices and challenge conventional forms of representation, aiming to foster more inclusive and equitable environmental humanities. By bridging scientific inquiry with social and cultural perspectives, Mitman and Nixon seek to establish narratives that resonate with broader societal concerns and promote alternative ways of knowing and being in the world.
