- Commentary: This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the topic of climate change through the perspective of what has broadly been understood as the Environmental Humanities. Focusing on ways that climate change issues force us to tangle with questions about justice, economy, media, and politics, this course will help students to develop the strategies, tools, and skills (in thinking, writing, and speaking) for engaging critically and meaningfully with climate change challenges. Each class will reflect on emerging trends, both here in South Korea and abroad. It will ask if, how, and why literature and the Environmental Humanities have a significant role to play in the context of climate change.
