Course content

Examine our relationships with nature, why stories about our wild world matter and how we can build hope in the face of environmental crisis.

You'll be working with world-leading, award-winning scholars and our community partners through interactive classroom sessions and out and about in the city. Together, you will:

• look at the different ways people, communities and societies understand and engage with nature;
• consider how we can confront the realities of environmental change and develop new relationships with the wider natural world;
• explore how we can tell stories about our planet that build a sense of hope and desire for action;
• evaluate and learn to apply a range of humanities approaches and methodologies – from history and literature to film and poetry.

We welcome applications from international undergraduates of any major and also recent international graduates and postgraduate students. This summer school is for those who want to be empowered to use humanities approaches to communicate the realities of the world we’ve damaged and build a sense of hope.
