Section Info:
This class is designed for advanced students in the Department of English and the School for Earth, Society, and Environment (SESE) interested in nature writing and engaging with current environmental issues. The core genre of the class will be the magazine essay, and we will sample work from the best writers in the field today, including Elizabeth Kolbert, Rowan Jacobsen, E. O. Wilson, and Meera Subramian. Publication venues include The New Yorker, National Geographic, and Nature, while the essays themselves address the full range of twenty-first century ecological concerns, from climate change to biodiversity to fossil fuels to GMOs. Students will develop an environment-themed research project of their own, and learn step-by-step the skills for high-impact environmental writing.
