ENGL 128
Fall 2015 All Classes
Credit: 3 hours.
This Grand Challenge Learning experience course is part of a 3-year pilot and is certified for General Education credit for Literature and the Arts. This course introduces sustainability through stories. Specifically, we will learn about food, water, and energy systems by reading novels and nonfiction narratives that help us answer questions, including: How do human experiences like memory, imagination, and empathy shape our understanding of the natural world? How can we understand our place within complex, global systems like food, water, and energy? How do factors like race, gender, class, and culture affect the way we see the environment and meet our resource needs? In addition to learning foundational strategies for literary analysis, students in this course will also discover the sustainability landscape of the University of Illinois community by embarking on field trips and, ultimately, by writing sustainability stories of their own.
Same as GCL 128. Prerequisite: Restricted to first-time new freshmen.
