LIT 168 - Literature & The Environment

4 Credit(s)

This course probes the whole idea of being at home in the natural world. It foregrounds ways in which physical environment directly affects human lives. It studies how the outdoors—whether wilderness areas, urban landscapes, or something in between—shapes and changes people, in some cases enabling them to aesthetically and morally redefine themselves. A variety of teaching and learning practices are included in this course: e.g., traditional lecture, oral readings, group discussions, creative and/or analytical writing, listening activities, oral and/or dramatic presentations, visits with authors, interviews, internet and off-campus activities, research practice, etc.
