- Course Catalog Description:
- This course explores significant environmental issues (such as environmental justice, toxic chemicals, climate change) through the analysis of texts from diverse literary genres. It focuses as much on issues of language and meaning as it does on the subjects these texts concern. Students examine the formal dimensions of these texts, as well as their social and historical contexts. In addition, students are introduced to the underlying scientific principles, the limitations of technologies, and the public policy aspects of each of these issues, in order to judge what constitutes an appropriate response to them. Students also learn how to identify and evaluate credible information concerning the environment.
- Class Description:
- This course explores three significant environmental issues (biodiversity loss, toxic chemicals, and climate change) through the analysis of texts from three different literary genres (fiction, memoir, and nonfiction journalism).

The course features many active learning components (small group discussions, work in pairs, and debates), as well as formal and informal writing assignments (4-5 page papers, short reading responses, and online discussion forums).
