Description
The course explores what it means to think and perceive in terms of our interconnectivity with the natural world, with human and non-human animals, and with real and imaginary environments. Using literature as the catalyst, students will read and engage interdisciplinary perspectives contributing to our aesthetic, experiential, and political understanding of ecological consciousness. Through research and reflection, students will look at how various writers, artists, and directors expand our awareness of the environment, foster social intelligence, and promote real change.
