Environmental Science & Policy 340 - Seminar: Finding Your Voice for Climate Action

What can one do to address climate change? How can one develop their own voice and fight for change? This course explores how students can write about climate change, grow as part of a supportive class, and find hope for a brighter future. Students practice being a public writer and an agent of change. Students work as writers and editors on a series of writing pieces and create individual portfolios for climate action. From an op-ed, to a blog post, to a policy brief, and to a policy memo, students learn the secrets of powerful public writing. Students build on the interdisciplinary toolkit of environmental science and policy to explore and develop their own voice for climate action. This course may be taken in place of the required environmental integration course ENV 311. Restrictions: Juniors and seniors only. Enrollment limited to 12. Instructor permission required.
