New course: Environmental humanities

For those students who will study next semester and want a little something extra from their studies – here are a new course aimed at you! It’s a short course, 3 credits, made for adding on to a full-time course, and this one gathers teachers from several different disciplines within the faculty of humanities. 

New Course: Environmental humanities

The climate issue is the largest challenge of our time. Thanks to scientific advances, we master the art of measuring climate change, yet, we seem to be unable to prevent the rapidly transgressing of planetary boundaries such atmospheric carbon dioxide, biodiversity loss, and ocean acidity.

This new, short, x-course in Environmental humanities draws on a rich humanistic tradition that for millennia has debated questions of humans’ place on earth and responsibility for the environment, other species and fellow human beings. The course will explore how we should orient ourselves in a world where our actions have far-reaching consequences across space and time. What can we learn from history, art, literature, philosophy etc. about the future of the environmental crisis and humans’ role on the planet?

You get the chance to try something outside your main field of study or deepen your knowledge even more. Take the opportunity to network by meeting students from other programmes and encountering other perspectives and get more out of your period of study, while also earning credits.
