This field-mapping course explores the complex interrelations between nature and human culture, while examining the roles of arts and humanities in creating and perpetuating a more biological diversity, and ecologically healthy world in the current moment of anthropogenic climate change. Aiming at introducing ecocriticism in the humanities to students, the compelling contents of this course endeavour to raise more ethical and political questions concerning multispecies cohabitation, urban sustainability, hazardous waste, environmental footprint, and deep decarbonization for a more just and collective planetary future.. The course applies various distinct ecocritical approaches to cultural, literary, and visual studies, engaging in interdisciplinary learning and place-based
methods about environmental change through processes of careful observation, deliberate description, and critical analysis.
