ENG 3270 Literature and Environment


The course will familiarize students with the established canons of nature writing and environmental literature. Using an ecocritical lens, students will study the vital relationship between literature and environmental values that exists even in literature not directly identified with environmental traditions. In addition, students will engage in one or more of the following activities: research and analysis of strategies for environmental activism; critical interaction with local (urban, suburban, and/or rural) ecosystems in order to investigate the concept of “environment”; and active participation in environmental activism. In these ways, the course may prove beneficial not only to understanding our regional, national, and global environmental crises, but for resolving them, too.
