​Ashley Reis is Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies at SUNY Potsdam, where she teaches courses in Environmental Studies, Environmental Justice, and more. Ashley earned her Ph.D. in Twentieth-Century American literature, ecocriticism, and the environmental humanities at the University of North Texas. Her book project, "With the Earth in Mind: Ecological Grief in the Contemporary U.S. Novel," investigates the ways in which U.S. novels published since WWII depict a correlation between environmental degradation and mental illness. When she's not researching and teaching, you can find Ashley in the mountains of northwest Wyoming.
