William Kroeger

Bill Kroeger grew up in lower Manhattan, among diverse cultures and voices. A former philosophy major, schoolteacher, and student of ecocritical Shakespeares, his PhD thesis at the University of Toronto focuses on narratives of ecology and subjectivity. Bill is intrigued with how people write and communicate about ecology and climate crisis: the genres they inhabit, the audiences they reach, and the senses of agency they invoke. His work engages intersecting cultural narratives, from Robin Wall Kimmerer’s descriptions of indigenous reciprocity and responsibility to Greta Thunberg’s invocation of moral imperatives to explorations of ecological crisis by such writers as Kim Stanley Robinson, Richard Powers, and Annie Proulx.
