Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

This course is designed for students who want to explore nature writing - the intersection of self and the natural world. We explore how this genre combines the observational, scientific "eye" withthe personal, narrative "I" through readings in non-fiction anthologies,novels and/or memoirs. Students write essays on nature and the environment that reflect different objectives within the genre, such as the political essay, the literary field study and the personal essay. Students also keep a "naturalist's journal." Discussion of threadings is interspersed with workshop sessions. Also offered as English 295 and through Outdoor Studies.
