In this class, we will explore the meanings and challenges of environmental communication. Engaging an interdisciplinary approach to ecology, we will address the nuances of environmental perception, the complexities of ecosystems, and the difficulties of translating scientific knowledge into persuasive storytelling, particularly in relation to politicized issues like climate change. The course will pair theories from the environmental humanities with diverse examples of ecological media: from literature, comics, and film to interactive art and video games to GIS mapping and data visualization. We will consider the affordances and limits of these cultural forms and ask what they can contribute to environmental debates.
