Environmental Digital Humanities

<p>Course cancelled. In-person Course. The course seeks to help students develop an integrated understanding of environmental and ecological issues from the point of view of the digital humanities, where the humanities are broadly understood (incorporating literature, the arts, philosophy and cultural studies) in conjunction with digital technologies. Thus, the course will expose students to an understanding of how two increasingly important issues in the modern world — digital technology and environmental concerns — intersect. Readings of excerpts from imaginative works such as novels and stories will be combined with theoretical, non-fiction readings. Assignments will involve both traditional essays and hands-on exploration, with digital resources and tools, of the students’ own environment at Yale, resulting in the making of mapped experienced of subjective journeys through the campus.&#160;1 Credit. Session B: July 1 – August 2. Tuition: $5070.</p>
