HUM-2012: This Land: Environmental Humanities and Hope

In Clemente and in Bridge, our conversations are often guided by the humanities; history, literature, art, philosophy and spirituality. This approach offers us ways to show both the paths we have travelled in the past and the new roads we hope for in days to come.   Climate change, human development and economic instability have created a state of uncertainty, with risks to local communities and to global well-being.  Regions and people with the fewest resources are experiencing the most severe economic and health effects, as many struggle to achieve financial stability or to access clean water, soil, and air.  In the face of such change, what is your lived experience?  What is the role of stories, poems, public art, spiritual doctrines or Native American lore? What can we learn together and from each other, in order to collectively improve those conditions?  With that knowledge, we can choose actions. The course will have readings, videos, art, music, workshops, projects, conversations and reflections.
