EGL 135 - Literature, Film, and the Environment

Introduces students to the interdisciplinary field of ecocriticism, or the study of literature and other media in relation to the scientific, social, cultural and ethical dimensions of the interactions between humans and the natural world. Students will study the engagement between the humanities and a defining issue of our time, and develop the verbal and written skills to articulate valid arguments about the representation of environmental crises and their consequences for humanity.
