ENVR 330 - Ecology and the Mind
3 Credit(s)
This course will introduce students to the current global epoch we occupy. The Anthropocene, which began with the industrial revolution and extends to include our own contemporary moment, signals human’s recognizable geophysical influence on all exosystemic components at a planetary scale. Since 1950, which roughly marks the onset of “the Great Acceleration,” scientists have in fact recorded the greatest exponential rise in atmosphere carbon dioxide in the planet’s history. While conventional scientific and political discourse has struggled to evaluate the variety of effects the Anthropocene-and associated environmental degradations- has had/is having on the human mind, this course will engage students in the study of environmental philosophy, criticism, literature, and film that represents the psychological results of denying human’s evolutionary need to connect with healthy ecosystems.

ENVR 340 - Environmental Justice Narratives
3 Credit(s)
This course examines the concept of environmental justice, as well as the associated concepts of environmental racism and radioactive colonization, through an interdisciplinary lens. The environmental justice narratives we find in literature, nonfiction, and documental films will introduce environmental studies students to the experiences of marginalized oppressed, and overlooked individuals and communities contending with and responding to environmental harm, which comes to bear on such communities disproportionately. An examination of these narratives will moreover demonstrate to students that nature is not only found in “wilderness,” but also in the places where many of us live and work, and revise our understanding of “environment” showing that nature exists in National Parks and nuclear waste sites, wild rivers and mega-dams, industrialized food production and the human body. Ultimately, this course will illuminate for students the reality that environmental harm always comes to bear on human lives and that environmental challenges are inseparable from social issues and concerns.
Prerequisite(s): ENVR 110 .

ENVR 360 - Equity and the Outdoors
3 Credit(s)

In this course, we will investigate the ways in which majority communities have excluded marginalized individuals from the arena of outdoor and adventure recreation. We will, moreover, attend to shifting trends in contemporary outdoor recreation, wherein minority recreationalist and athletes are carving out a space for themselves in the able-bodied, white-male-dominated realm of outdoor recreation.
