What is Environmental Humanities?

Environmental Humanities is an interdisciplinary area of research that connects various areas of the humanities, bridging traditional divides between the environmental sciences and the humanities, as well as between multiple ways of relating to the natural world and the place of humans within nature.

Environmental Humanities deepens our assessment of the distinctive ways Westerners and non-Westerners relate to the natural world.

The course engages the transdisciplinary field of environmental humanities with special attention given to cultural expressions of environmental themes and topics.  The class will incorporate films, poetry, art, architecture, and cultural production.
