COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Bachelor of Arts will equip you for today’s rapidly changing world. You will develop skills and capacities necessary to understand how the world has come to be the way it is today. A major in environmental humanities will equip you with the tools to analyse, critique and engage with contemporary debates about the environment. You will acquire a deep and critical understanding of the social contexts through which we experience environmental issues and problems such as climate change, species loss, adaptation, exploitation and natural disasters.
The environmental humanities major brings together subjects from international studies, philosophy, history, indigenous studies, cultural studies, sociology, english, contemporary arts and geography. All the strengths of humanities’ research and teaching will be brought into the environment’s domain.
The development of environmental humanities is in response to 21st Century environmental crises of climate change; depletion of natural resources, species extinctions, mass migration, natural disasters, global inequalities and climate refugee crises. In addition to the environmental humanities major you will choose a minor or a second major from the Bachelor of Arts offerings.
