So you want to do something to help save the planet. Awesome. But how? This integrative learning seminar will help you to build the research and writing skills you will need to express your own environmentalist vision.

Faced with planetary extinction, we must pay attention to the nonhuman world as well as the human world. We need science. We need policy. We need ethics. We need art.In this course, we will explore the perspectives of poets, philosophers, activists and scientists. We will sharpen our own rhetorical skills in informal conversations, formal presentations, and most importantly in writing.Assignments will include creative non-fiction, Op-Eds, reviews, and essays stacked with scientific data.
