Introduction to the Environmental Humanities Syllabus

Teaching Resource OVERVIEW

This introduction to ecocriticism in the humanities syllabus tackles questions such as: Why do we think of “nature” as something apart from human “culture”? How have past representations of this disconnect informed our attitudes today? What is the potential agency of the arts and humanities to create and maintain a more resilient and biologically diverse world in our present moment of global ecological crisis?
