"THE ENVIRONMENTAL HUMANITIES IN
THE PUBLIC SPHERE"
(NW, I&S)
THIS COURSE EXPLORES THE WAYS IN
WHICH LIVING AND DYING ARE
DISTRIBUTED UNEVENLY ACROSS LINES
OF HUMAN AND SPECIES DIFFERENCE
WITH THE ADVENT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
AND THE ANTHROPOCENE. BUT IN THE
FACE OF ACCELERATING CHANGES TO
THE ENVIRONMENT, AND IN LIGHT OF
BOTH SHARED AND INCOMMENSURABLE
ATTENDANT VULNERABILITIES, THIS
COURSE WILL ALSO QUERY HOW PUBLIC
PRACTICES OF ENGAGEMENT MIGHT
INTERVENE. IN SO DOING, WE WILL
EXPAND HUMANISTIC UNDERSTANDINGS
OF THE PUBLIC SPHERE. N.B. THIS
COURSE WILL INVOLVE USE OF
SEVERAL DIGITAL TOOLS, MOST
NOTABLY, OMEKA. YOU DO NOT NEED
TO BE TECH-SAVVY, BUT YOU DO NEED
TO BE WILLING.
