ENV 333 - Nature Writers w/ Field Lab

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Environmental Studies

Description:

This course explores literature that depicts the natural world with affection, respect, imagination and concern by examining the nature writing traditions of England and America, including the canons of women and Native Americans. Because these traditions present an alternative paradigm to that of modern industrial culture, examination of the literature leads to discussion of how historical influences, including science, religion, and economics, have shaped attitudes toward nature and contributed to consequent environmental problems. Fully integrated with the study of literature are weekly field excursions that afford opportunities for students to experience land and waterscapes (ecosystems) similar to those described in the texts.
