ENVS 213 - Nature, Culture and Interpretation

Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours
Attribute: 3 SS

This course develops students’ capacity to understand how humans conceptualize, interpret, value, and engage with “Nature” and their environment. We examine the ways historical and environmental circumstances, societal relations and cultural identities, (especially through literature, philosophy, religion, and art) reflect and inform humans’ understanding of their living and non-living surroundings. We will also provide a context for understanding the ways we might address pressing issues such as climate change and loss of bio-cultural diversity. Enrollment limit: 14.
Instructor: C. Fortwanger
