ENG 6824 \u2013 Proseminar in Environmental Humanities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wide enough to keep you looking
Open enough to keep you moving
Dry enough to keep you honest
Prickly enough to make you tough
Green enough to go on living
Old enough to give you dreams

\u2013 Gary Snyder, \u201cEarth Verse,\u201d Mountains and Rivers Without End<\/em> (1996)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An introduction to best practices in research, teaching, and out-of-classroom activities in
the environmental humanities (EH), with emphasis on effective methods for
introducing undergraduate humanities students to the science of planetary climate
transformation and to literary media (poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction) and visual media
(graphic novels, cinema) addressing the place of the human in a more-than-human
world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students will read widely from the emerging literature in ecopoetic and ecocritical
pedagogy, ecosophy, ecopoetry, and ecofiction, and will develop practical solutions for
adding EH theory and practice to their scholarly and teaching emphases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
