Ted Hamilton

Ted Hamilton is an Assistant Professor of English at Bucknell University, specializing in the intersections of law, literature, and the environment. His teaching encompasses twentieth- and twenty-first century environmental literature from the United States and Latin America, Indigenous literature, environmental law, and legal and literary studies.

His educational background includes:

• Ph.D. from Yale University
• J.D. from Harvard Law School
• B.A. from Cornell University

Hamilton's research explores how colonial-Indigenous conflicts shape narratives of ecological crisis and human agency through legal and literary frameworks. He critically examines human-environmental relations with focus on authors like Leslie Marmon Silko, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Ursula K. Le Guin, bridging environmental law scholarship with climate justice advocacy. His work positions literature as a vital site for reimagining ecological futures and legal systems.

His publications consistently integrate climate law critique with literary analysis, revealing connections between fossil fuel dependence, colonial land dispossession, and narrative forms. Recent work explores speculative constitutions in science fiction as blueprints for rights of nature frameworks, while historical analyses trace Indigenous sovereignty challenges in environmental jurisprudence.
