LIT-269 Climate Fiction and Film
In this course, we will examine how fiction and film about the climate crisis document our anxieties, remediate our ecologies, and reimagine our climate futures. Students will be introduced to Ecocriticism and the Environmental Humanities while reading and watching across subgenres; a portion of the course will include American Indian and First Nations texts. Course materials will include contemporary novels, short stories, film, media, and theory. Our class screenings and discussions will be supplemented by visits from writers and filmmakers thinking through the social, ethical, and political implications of making media about the climate crisis.
