ENVR 242 - Environmental Writing

4 Credits

1 Units

This writing course will survey a broad spectrum of environmental literature, from Thoreau’s Walden to Cheryl Strayed’s recent bestseller, Wild, as well as images, music, and cinema that address environmental themes. Through writing, class discussion and other assignments, students will reflect on our changing relationship with the natural world and consider what that engagement has meant for both the planet and its human inhabitants. The course follows a workshop format, so reading and critiquing other students’ writing is required.

Credit Type Code: Letter Grade
