Course Description:
Our present environmental challenge constitutes of the most pressing areas of contemporary social, cultural, ethical and ecological concern.

Acid rain, poisoned air, forest clear-cutting, ozone depletion, global climate change, toxic waste sites-the list goes on-all weigh heavily on our personal and intellectual lives.

This course attempts to introduce students to both the scope and seriousness of present ecological concerns, as well as some core principles and concepts in the field of the intersection of environment and culture, through the lens of feature films.

Themes such as the precautionary principle, urban/rural dualisms, ecofeminism, deep ecology, and the overwhelming burden placed on poor populations by environmental destruction are but a few of the areas which will be examined through the use of feature films, both classic and contemporary.

We will do this in part by touching on some of the major writers and classic essays in the field, Class lectures will be supplemented by audiovisuals, guest lectures and class discussions.
