Environmental Rhet & Culture
Section Info:
Topic: Environmental Rhetoric and Culture This course aims to introduce students to rhetorical analysis by considering the ways language and media structure understandings of nature and the environment. We will use contemporary rhetorical theory to explore how messages related to environmental issues (such as greenwashing, climate change, land use, the organic movement, environmental activism, etc.) are formed and what impact they have on audiences. Through readings of pop culture, activist movements, and consumer culture, we will consider how popular perception of environmental issues affects public policy.
