Utrecht University - Faculty of Humanities reposted this
Very happy to announce our exciting new BA-minor Environmental Humanities Universiteit Utrecht - Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen coordinated by Flora Roberts. Have a look! 👇
NEW! Starting September 2024 at Universiteit Utrecht: the BA-minor Environmental Humanities, coordinated by Flora Roberts. What does it mean to be human in a time of global environmental crisis? How are political, social, and economic structures intertwined with the ecological realities of the Anthropocene? How do our conceptions of the human, nature, and the environment need to change in response to our current situation? How can we imagine sustainable futures? How can media, culture, and the arts foster environmental awareness and action? What is the role of science in accelerating sustainable transitions? What can the Humanities contribute to sustainable and fair transitions? These questions are addressed in the emerging field of Environmental Humanities. This minor engages in developing new understandings of major environmental crises and the related social, political, and cultural challenges. We approach these questions through a sequence of four courses, each addressing the Anthropocene through a range of disciplinary perspectives. Questions of history, sustainability, ethics, narrative, by means of a focus on rhetoric, representation, and imagination are addressed in an interdisciplinary, engagement-oriented course design.
