Forge Connections and Inspire Change in Environmental Studies - Humanities

Explore the essence of our relationship with the Earth through the Humanities track in Environmental Studies. This unique program is an invitation to explore the myriad ways in which culture, history, ethics, and the arts intersect with the natural world. As we face unparalleled environmental challenges, understanding these intersections becomes crucial. Through courses in environmental philosophy, literature, and cultural studies, students gain insights into how human values and beliefs shape our environmental actions and policies. This track encourages a deep exploration of human narratives and experiences, aiming to cultivate a generation of environmental thinkers who can articulate and address the ethical dimensions of ecological issues.

In our Environmental Studies program, you're not just studying the environment; you're examining the stories we tell about it and our place within it. You will learn to analyze and interpret the cultural artifacts that reflect our relationship with nature, from ancient myths to contemporary media. By engaging with diverse perspectives and creative expressions, students in the Humanities track develop the critical thinking and communication skills necessary to inspire change.
