Vale Bruce Bennett AO, 14 April 2012
 
Australia has lost a leading light in Australian literature and cultural ecology. ASLEC-ANZ is deeply saddened to announce that Bruce Bennett, an Advisory Board member of ASLEC-ANZ, died after a long illness. His brother Jack reports that Bruce worked to the end, proofing pages for The Spying Game, to be published this April. Bruce was above all, a genial human being and generous scholar. He will be deeply missed. ASLEC-ANZ members extend their condolences to Trish and family.

The Association for the Study of Literature, Environment and Culture — Australia and New Zealand is devoted to fostering creative and scholarly work that explores the relationship between human culture and the physical environment; to sharing information and ideas—and to encouraging discussion, publication, and practice—about the human sciences and the environment.

The membership comprises writers, artists, cinematographers, and musicians as well as academics working in and across several areas of the Ecological Humanities, including ecocritical literary and cultural studies, environmental history and the history of science, anthropology and ecophilosophy

ASLEC-ANZ is affiliated with a worldwide network of similar associations, of which the first was founded in the USA in 1992 (www.asle.org), followed by Korea (ASLE), the UK (ASLE), Japan (ASLE), Europe (EASCLE), India (OSLE and ASLE) and Canada (ALECC), with more in the process of formation elsewhere.

ASLEC-ANZ welcomes your participation in the more-than-human world, in these and other events and in our organisation.
