Faculty First Year Seminars 191ENGL5 - Campus. Climate, Community

In this course, we will demystify the complexities of climate change and build a community that is justice-oriented and climate-informed. To generate research questions focused on sustainability, we will visit seed libraries and mineral galleries, art exhibitions and archives, all on the grounds of the UMass Amherst campus. As we familiarize ourselves with our university, we will also read groundbreaking literary texts, watch award-winning documentary films, and practice environmental blogging.
