In 2012-2013 she is coordinating the Global Ecologies: Nature/Narrative/Neoliberalism Conference at UCLA, a workshop on Pacific Island militarization at the University of the South Pacific, Fiji, and a workshop on Imperialism, Narrative and the Environment at the Rachel Carson Center, Ludwig-Maximilians Universitat, Munich. In 2011 she co-organized the Legacies of Pacific Island Militarization workshop and in 2010 the Globalized Islands: Contemporary Literature & the Transnational Encounter conference at UCLA. In 2009 she was one of the departmental co-organizers of the Mellon Foundation’s Cultural Pre-history of Environmentalism Project.
Prof DeLoughrey teaches postcolonial literature courses on the environment, globalization, militarism, the politics of food, women’s writing and migration, and Caribbean and Pacific Island literatures.
