ENVS 202 - Nature Culture Interpretation (Social Science)


Semester Offered: First Semester, Second Semester
Credits (Range): 3 hours
Attribute: 3SS
This course develops students’ capacity to understand how humans conceptualize, interpret, value, and engage with the non-human world. We examine the ways narratives, aesthetic modes, and philosophical systems inform humans’ understanding of the nonhuman world. We engage in the analysis of literary, religious, philosophical, visual, and cinematic texts as well as examining current environmental issues from an interdisciplinary social science perspective. (ENVS201 is similar but places greater emphasis on humanities perspectives).
Enrollment Limit: 20
Instructor: C. Washington-Ottombre
