EVSS 201 - Introduction to Environmental Humanities

FC ARHU

4 credits
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 non-human world. We engage in close readings of literary, religious, philosophical, visual, and cinematic texts as well as examining current environmental issues from an interdisciplinary humanities perspective. This course is restricted to ENVS majors only or by permission of the instructor.

Prerequisites: ENVS 101.
