ENVS 219 - Climate Change


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4HU

This course investigates the ethics, aesthetics, and politics of climate change through cultural productions including literature, film, new media, performance, protest, and social movements. Throughout this examination we will reflect critically on the narrative resources we have to think through these questions, such as the genres of utopia, dystopia, and apocalypse, and interrogate the portrayal of human nature, risk, and disaster in cultural productions. A central element of the class will be your own response to these questions in the form of an expressive project.
