ILN2302/ ILN2303/ ILN4302 Writing, Nature and Eco-Emotions
In Writing, Nature, and Eco-Emotions, we will use works from across the world and time to explore how humans have portrayed and dealt with nature, environmental changes, and the emotions these drum up. Using practical and theoretical methods, we will learn what eco-emotions are, how they appear across different literatures and disciplines, and various ways writers use them as tools for activism, empathy, and understanding the world. Finally, we will learn how to express and use our own eco-emotions through creative writing.
The course will be taught spring 2026 and will be available on BA-level (5 or 10 points) and on MA-level (10 stp):
