As we face what is increasingly known as the climate crisis, reevaluating our relationship with nature is paramount. Our survival depends on it. This course focuses on literature as a medium for exploring humanity�s relationship with nature and the environment, from indigenous perspectives, to nineteenth-century Romanticism, to Environmentalism, to contemporary Cli-fi, to early 21st-century youth-led climate justice movements.

This course teaches techniques for writing detail-rich, focused sentences with clear, logical relationships between ideas. It also teaches strategies for not only identifying and fixing common sentence structure errors but also developing your own sentence style. These lessons can be applied to writing tasks in any college course, and thus facilitate college success.
