Course content

The MA in Environmental Humanities at Warwick will introduce you to major debates around climate change, the Anthropocene, energy, sustainability, ecological futures and environmental justice. Drawing on a combination of seminars, research projects and fieldwork, you will deepen your critical understanding of key ecological concepts and methods, while developing your competence in analysing the implications and developments of the global environmental crisis and ongoing climate emergency. As important, you will be given the opportunity to think creatively about ways of connecting theory and practice.

Considering your position as a future scholar and environmentally conscious global citizen, this MA will immerse you in the study of ecologically attuned cultural work from across the globe. You will take a core module in the history, methodology and theory of Environmental Humanities, choose from a wide range of modules that address various perspectives on climate change, environment, sustainability and ecology, and write a dissertation on an approved topic of your choice with a specialist supervisor.
