Kommentar/Beschreibung

Although many people tend associate the United States with its record as "the biggest carbon polluter in history" (New York Times 2017) and its problematic position toward various international climate accords, the country has a long tradition of environmental awareness. Even before the first national park was created at Yellowstone in 1872, numerous explorers, naturalists, artists, and writers had shared their enthusiasm, their thoughts, and their fears about America's natural treasures with a nationwide audience.

This class is designed to familiarize students with selected aspects of the wide spectrum of American environmental studies including environmental history, nature writing, and contemporary issues such as environmental protection and climate change. Drawing on various types of documents, journalism, fictional and nonfictional texts, as well as research literature, this course will provide students with opportunities to explore, analyze, discuss, and understand a crucial issue of American culture and its relevance to the contemporary world.

Students interested in signing up for this class must be prepared to participate actively in class and to commit themselves to weekly reading and writing assignments. Reading material will be made available in the course of the semester. To receive full credit for this class (5 CP), students will have to produce a "Hausarbeit." More information about the specific requirements will be announced in the first session.
