This new, short, x-course in Environmental humanities draws on a rich humanistic tradition that for millennia has debated questions of humans’ place on earth and responsibility for the environment, other species and fellow human beings. The course will explore how we should orient ourselves in a world where our actions have far-reaching consequences across space and time. What can we learn from history, art, literature, philosophy etc. about the future of the environmental crisis and humans’ role on the planet?
