I'm Katherine Buse.

​I'm a scholar of digital media, the environmental humanities, and cultures of science and technology. I study how ideas about nature and planetary systems are negotiated between the sciences and other parts of culture, especially science fiction. 

I'm currently a PhD Candidate in English and STS at UC Davis. I am also a graphic and game designer, as well as co-convener of the Technocultural Futures Research Cluster at the Davis Humanities Institute.

I teach classes about Planets in Science and Culture, the Environmental Humanities, Science Fiction and American Literature.
