Emile Bellewes is a Lecturer at Linköping University specializing in ecolinguistics and critical discourse studies. His research examines how language and narratives shape our understanding of the natural world and non-human animals. He critiques dominant societal narratives that marginalize wild animals and seeks to illuminate alternative perspectives that challenge the prevailing notions of human exceptionalism. Bellewes explores the intersections of language, culture, and ecology, emphasizing the importance of environmental ethics and the underlying discourses that inform our relationships with nature. His academic pursuits also extend to ecocriticism, environmental humanities, and the pedagogy surrounding language learning, particularly through Michael Halliday’s framework of language as a mediator in content learning. Currently, he is investigating how the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency employs specific discourses to construct narratives around wild animals and sustainable development, aiming to reveal the implications of these narratives for understanding ecological dynamics.
