HUM ENVIRONMENTAL HUMANITIES

4.00 credits. Planet Earth is currently in the throes of significant ecological crises. These include (but are by no means limited to) catastrophic climate change, uncontrolledplastic and outdoor-light pollution, loss of biological diversity, human overpopulation, the unsustainable development of energy sources and “built environments,” and humans’ increasing disconnection from other elements of the natural world (including “shifting baseline syndrome”). In this course, we will examine literary and visual texts that explore ideas of Nature, the Environment, and Sustainability throughout human history. The texts on the syllabus were produced in, or refer to, a range of countries and time-periods, from the ancient Middle East to modern-day North America, Britain, Europe, and Asia. As well as discussing these works’ verbal and visual representations of Earth’s various ecological states throughout time, we will think about the ways in which historical texts can be viewed and understood as relevant, useful tools in the context of tackling Earth’s current eco-crises.

Examples of nature-based solutions include increasing carbon sequestration in soil and vegetation to address climate change and restoring wetlands to address flooding and water-quality issues. As many NBS are based on vegetation, the course will include training on vegetation community identification and classification.
