Environmental
Literature
ENVI LIT
Coordinator/instructor: Darin
W 11:00–12:30, Th 8:00–9:30
Subject matter, theme, form, and technique of
environmental literature written in English; roles
of literature in fostering ecological awareness;
analysis and criticism of selected works
As Patrick Murphy points out, contemporary
environmental texts stimulate us to question our
human relationship with the environment and
challenge us to think about what it means to inhabit
the world more responsibly.
In this course, we will examine our relationships
with the non-human world in various texts: Daniel
Quinn’s Ishmael, Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal
Dreams, Jesmyn Ward’s Salvage the Bones,
Hayao Miyazaki’s animated film Princess Mononoke
as well as selected poems, short stories and essays.
We will use these texts to open up a number of
questions regarding the relationships between humans
and the non-human world. We will discuss a variety
of issues—ranging from anthropocentrism,
human-animal relationships, inhabitation and climate
change to environmental injustice. Together with our
analysis of the texts, we will also engage in
various activities which will give us an opportunity
to exercise not only intellectual but imaginative
and emotional faculties as well.
To what extent does our study of environmental
literature make us rethink our relationships with
the world, help foster our ecological awareness, and
deepen our appreciation of the world?

Coordinator/instructor: Avery
TTh 11:00–12:30
Analysis and criticism of selected topics in English
literature from a social, cultural and literary
perspective
How has race become relevant to the world we live
in? The course seeks to answer that question by
looking at expressions of race produced in important
literary texts in the transatlantic world from the
early modern period to the present day. We look at
how race is constructed by reference to
socioeconomic, cultural, historical, and discursive
definitions of power, slavery, and liberation. The
course will also explore the relation of race to
other conceptual categories, namely, class and
gender.
