EVST 240 Imagined Climates

How have writers and artists of the early 21st century represented the changing climate? How have they engaged ideas of risk, apocalypse, and scale? What kinds of futures have the projected for the warming world? Through mystery novels, sonnets, nonfiction essays, and a variety of other genres, we will analyze how particular voices become central or peripheral within climate discourse. [H, W]
