Dr. Kerstin Oloff is an Associate Professor in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures at Durham University, specializing in postcolonial studies, environmental humanities, and feminist theory within Latin American and Caribbean contexts. She has authored Ecology of the Zombie (2023) and co-edited volumes such as World-Ecology and the Global Food System (2021). Her research bridges Gothic aesthetics, eco-criticism, and socio-political critique, focusing on works from Mexico, the Caribbean, and the U.S.
Dr. Oloff has organized interdisciplinary events including the 'Ecologies and the Arts' research group (since 2014), the 'World-Ecology Network' conference (2016), and currently directs the Centre for Culture and Ecology. Her work addresses themes like energy humanities, anti-extractivism, and the intersection of gender with ecological crises. She teaches courses on Caribbean ecocriticism, Cuban cinema, and postcolonial debates.
Her publications span peer-reviewed journals (Journal of Postcolonial Writing, Green Letters), edited collections, and book reviews. She frequently engages with speculative fiction and Gothic traditions to explore socio-ecological degradation and global systems of power.
