Eco-Self: The Human-Nature Relationship

Catalog description

This course brings together eco-art, environmental writing and the newer, and often contested, field of eco-psychology to deepen our understanding of the human/nature relationship. Using the tradition of the "field journal", students will will become amateur naturlists and use the creative arts, close observation, and critical thinking to better understanding their own relationship with nature, learn more about a place site of their choosing, and investigate larger societies' relationship with nature.
