Guest: Anna Beresford “Social Capital, Place, and Space”
ANNA BERESFORD MA (’17) DIDN’T CHOOSE ENVIRONMENTAL philosophy—the study of the moral relationships of human beings to the
environment and its non-human contents. It chose her. In fact, when the English and philosophy major first applied to the Master of Arts in
Interdisciplinary Humanities program at Trinity Western University, her study aspirations leaned far more classical. “I was interested in ancient
Roman plays,” she laughs. For Beresford, it was twu’s faculty coupled with the interdisciplinary aspect of the program (students can choose to
concentrate in either English, philosophy, or history, but broadly study all three) that allowed her to explore this non-traditional subject. “It’s

hard to separate them,” says Beresford. Recently, Beresford was accepted to the School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability at the
University of Waterloo, where she pursues her doctorate degree under Dr. Stephen Quilley. As for the end goal, Beresford says she would love to
work in academia but ultimately wants to research ways in which humans can live in balance with nature.
