Course Description
This course focuses on literary studies and sustainability, specifically ecopoetry. Ecopoems are not just poems about or inspired by nature: ecopoems are interested in ecologies, environments and structures of power. As the world reckons with the rapidly accelerating effects of man-made climate change, we'll explore how poems offer ways to act towards a more just, equitable, and anti-racist society as they document the ecological and imagine new roles for human experience within the ecological. As we read, analyze, and share, we'll reflect on our own places in efforts to re-balance the world through both anti-racist and sustainable practices.
