ENGL 548 - Environmental Humanities Environmental Humanities is a deeply immersive semester-long study of the biosphere as it is discussed and represented in essays, histories, films, memoirs, digital texts and long form journalism from a diverse range of fields (literature, history, cinema, economics, environmental science, and eco-criticism). The emphasis is on contemporary experiments in form and genre that expose new audiences to ways of understanding the natural world and its threats and challenges in the Anthropocene era. Complementing the close reading of texts is a chance to engage in direct sensory experience and narration through nature observation, field journal composition, and the creation of a video or text essay of place.
