Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1413 Topic for ENVS 203 for Spring 2019: Stories of Justice and Injustice. We will investigate a series of environmental domains––air, soil, water, biota, and chemical life––through traditionally humanistic methods, including close reading, primary source analysis, and narrative writing. Our material of study will range from environmental history to literature, policy documents to living water systems, superfund sites to air quality data. As environmental humanists, we will not only pay particular attention to what stories of environments have to tell us about the past, present, and future, but we will also study the ways in which storytelling itself is a mode of construction: environments shape us, but we, too, shape environments through our stories.
