Personal Engagements with Natures, Cultures and Capitalisms is an occasional academic blog focused on the relationships between people, the environment, culture and economic systems. Its posts feature the research and perspectives of Sian Sullivan, a scholar associated with Bath Spa University and its Environmental Humanities Research Centre, as well as contributions and work connected to the Future Pasts project. Rather than offering commercial products or services, the site shares articles, research, publications, event announcements and reflections for readers interested in environmental humanities and political ecology.

Topics include biodiversity conservation, natural capital, ecosystem services, carbon markets, climate change, environmental finance and the effects of conservation policies on local communities and knowledge. The blog also explores Namibia’s landscapes and histories, Indigenous and animist perspectives, drylands, and the cultural and political meanings of nature. Some entries discuss public lectures, seminars, conference panels, films and creative work, while others present or link to scholarly papers and reports.
