Nature & Environmental Writing

Catalog description

Nature Writing & the Environment explores methods of restoring relationships with nature and with one another by writing about nature and the environment in a way that encourages others to care and act. It asks students to retain a sense of wonder in a time of justifiable fear and to write artistically without sacrificing scientific accuracy. In response to reading, discussion, and students’ own experience of nature and the environment, students will write both creatively and analytically and compose and revise a substantial essay or article to submit to a journal or magazine.
