ENVS 19903. INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL HUMANITIES What does it mean to know the land upon which we stand? Does it matter if that land is urban, suburban, or rural? How are the histories of our environments legible to us? How does deepening our knowledge of place allow for us to better understand our position in the ecosystem? To begin answering these questions, we will each engage in deep experiences such as walking or interacting with the ecosystem – asynchronously and each in in our respective landscapes; we will read key essays in the environmental humanities to help understand our ecosystem experiences; and we will write personal essays to express this growing understanding. This class attempts to turn the passive nature of remote learning into ACTIVITY.
