How do we relate to nature? How do we survive climate change? Why do narratives matter? Climate change and our relationships to nature have increasingly dominated a significant amount of space in our personal lives, and in the narratives that circulate through the media. While answers exist, some are more privileged, and others are not afforded enough examination. In this course, we will explore and examine the dominant, and often invisible narratives around climate change and environmental issues so that we can learn and envision how to survive together.
Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
