Emily Eliza Scott is an interdisciplinary scholar, artist, and former park ranger. Her work focuses on contemporary art and design practices that engage pressing eco-geo-political issues, often with the intent to actively transform real-world conditions. Currently a postdoctoral fellow in the architecture department at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich), she teaches on subjects ranging from the concept of “post-nature,” to architecture “in the expanded field,” to the emergent physical and imaginative geographies of climate change. Her writings have appeared in Art Journal, American Art, Third Text, and Cultural Geographies as well as in multiple edited volumes and online journals. Her first book, Critical Landscapes: Art, space, politics, coedited with Kirsten Swenson, was published by the University of California Press in 2015. She is a founding member of two long-term, collaborative projects: “World of Matter” (2011–), an international art and research platform on global resource ecologies, and the Los Angeles Urban Rangers (2004–), a group that develops guided hikes, campfire talks, field kits, and other interpretive tools to spark creative explorations of everyday habitats in their home megalopolis and beyond.
