Environmental Writing

Catalog description

Students will explore writings about nature and the environment, particularly those that have been influential over the years. Coupled with the study of writings about the environment, students will actively write themselves. A central component of the course will be journaling, reflective memoir, argumentative (policy) essay writing as well forays into creative writing and multi-media compositions. The aim is to create students who not only understand and appreciate writing about the environment but delve into the craft of it themselves for the betterment of society. The course may include off-campus excursions.
