What is a text? How do texts create meaning? How do texts interrelate with the natural world? Foundations of Environmental Humanities considers a wide range of cultural texts–from poetry to podcast, from basket to ballad, from fiction to film, from comics to craft–to explore how cultural production both grows from and contributes to specific landscapes. Focusing on the theme of movements and migrations, we will investigate how cultural movement has led to cultural adaptations and created new relationships to places. Throughout this course, students will be introduced to the fundamental tools and skills of Environmental Humanities as a field in order to understand the roles that Humanities can play in environmental stewardship.
