Author Biography

Abdelhafid Jabri, Mohammed Premier University

I am an avid doctoral researcher in environmental ethics. Specifically, I am a seeker for unlit corners of environmental value in American nature writing. In parallel, I am an emerging poetry writer with a published poem in an international peer-reviewed journal (August 2020) and an award for the best poem in my university (April 2021). In practice, I am an active member of EASLCE (European Association for the Study of Literature, Culture, and the Environment).
