SEM 213 - Literature & Environment

Institution:

Gwynedd Mercy University

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the human connection to the natural environment, in mostly British and American literature from the eighteenth through twentieth centuries. This exploration will combine readings in fiction, poetry, and non-fiction sources to understand better our connection to the world around us and our function within it. In addition to exploring this in literature, students will be asked to develop and express an understanding of their own connection to the environment and the choices they make about it, based on the value systems studied. This course focuses on the earth, one of the five critical concerns of the Sisters of Mercy: women, non-violence, earth, anti-racism, and immigration. This course meets the University?s definition of writing intensive. ENG 101 is a pre-requisite.
