English 118nw - Colloquium: Topics in Writing-Nature and Wilderness: Science, Meaning and Space

The human relationship with nature is one of the most important questions in the world. Are we part of nature? Are we destroying it? Can we save it? Can it save us? And what is nature, anyway? Is it the opposite of “human” or is it the truth at our core? This course delves into these philosophical and practical questions, entering into ongoing conversations in the humanities, science, literature, and activism on topics ranging from the value of “wilderness” to controversies around GMOs and the question of what harm humans may do by “colonizing” uninhabited planets. Enrollment limited to 15. (E)
