Eric Zencey currently teaches in Europe, Central America and the United States as Visiting Associate Professor of Political and Historical Studies in the Graduate and International Programs at Empire State College, State University of New York. He is author of a collection of essays about how we think (and ought to think) about nature,
Virgin Forest: Meditations on History, Ecology, and Culture (University of Georgia Press, 1998), and of a novel, published in a dozen foreign editions, that was (briefly) a national best-seller in the U.S.:
Panama (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1995). He holds a Ph.D. in political philosophy and the history of science from Claremont Graduate University, where his dissertation,
Entropy as Root Metaphor, established him as a trans-disciplinary thinker and an early practitioner of what has come to be known as sustainability studies. A member of the Boards of the Vermont Natural Resources Council and of GNH USA, Zencey is also a featured contributor to
The Daly News, the sustainability blog published by the Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy, and an Affiliate scholar of the Gund Institute of Ecological Economics. He splits his time between his home in Montpelier, VT; St. Louis, MO; and Prague, Czech Republic.
