Through lectures, discussions, skills labs, and workshops, students will explore the field as a space of storytelling, critique, and analysis across diverse media\u2014visual art, fiction, film, travelogs, music, and food. Together we\u2019ll consider stories of sustainability, place, climate (in)justice, and the shifting connections between human and more-than-human worlds. We\u2019ll ask how stories shape our sense of place, how they expose or reinforce systemic inequalities, and why the environmental humanities matter in the face of today\u2019s ecological crises. Along the way, students will experiment with creative forms of narrative and reflect on what it might mean not only to live, but to live well, in 2026 and beyond.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"course-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<summary>More details<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><span class=\"label\">Modes of Inquiry:<\/span> [AC]<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Writing Credit:<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">GEC(s):<\/span> GEC C068<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Cross-listed Course(s):<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor:<\/span> Tyler Harper<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor Permission Required:<\/span> No<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details><p class=\"catalog-full-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.bates.edu\/course-search\/?details=1&#038;code=ENVR+205\" target=\"course-774\">Full Catalog Listing<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"catalog-course _full-view\" id=\"course-775\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5>ENVR 207: Human Impacts on Marine Ecosystems<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course-description\">This course is designed as a second science course for students interested in marine science and environmental studies.

These include our food systems, land use practices, technologies, and more. Students will learn about basic ecological principles and apply these principles to the ways humans have engaged with their natural spaces across human history. We will learn about how ancient civilizations developed innovative ways of stewarding their local ecosystems or in some harsh cases caused irreparable damage. We will conclude by examining modern climate change and the impact that recent human land use practices have had on different ecosystems on a global scale. We will also investigate the sustainability of Indigenous societies and nation states around the world, how they preserve biodiversity, and pathways forward for us all.

Moving between forests, coasts, mines, and cities, the course treats representations of various lived environments as archives of power where colonial and neocolonial histories and legacies are inscribed, contested, reshaped, and reimagined. Students learn to read environmental storytelling and visual rendering critically: who tells these stories, who is silenced, who benefits, and who bears the cost, which hierarchies and norms are naturalized, and which are questioned? What alternative social bonds, cultural ties, and utopian futures do Francophone African and Caribbean artists invite us to consider? The course is conducted in English.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"course-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<summary>More details<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><span class=\"label\">Modes of Inquiry:<\/span> [AC], [HS]<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Writing Credit:<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">GEC(s):<\/span> GEC C041<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Cross-listed Course(s):<\/span> FRE 252<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor:<\/span> Alex Dauge-Roth, Laura Balladur<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor Permission Required:<\/span> No<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details><p class=\"catalog-full-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.bates.edu\/course-search\/?details=1&#038;code=ENVR+252\" target=\"course-795\">Full Catalog Listing<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"catalog-course _full-view\" id=\"course-796\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5>ENVR 271: Dendrology and the Natural History of Trees\/Lab<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course-description\">In this field-based course, students engage in the scientific study of the natural history and identification of trees and important shrubs native to New England, and some commonly planted non-native trees.

Understanding these varied relationships within the human and more-than-human world highlights how canoe routes, beach towns, textile mills, apple orchards, and all other New England environments are products of human dynamics, including those of race, gender, and class. Drawing on scholarly work as well as primary sources (including paintings, newspapers, diaries, and maps), students gain an appreciation for this complex history.

What priorities, hopes and anxieties emerge when we center communities that work the land? Devaluing the knowledge of small-scale farmers, indigenous peoples and minoritized communities has supported the spread of colonial capitalism. We ask how this stigma is contested by the stories of these groups today as they struggle to restore ancestral practices of land use, resist industrial agrobusiness or secure food sovereignty in the face of climate change. Through the study of art, literature and scholarship produced by these communities and their allies, we ask how the stories and ways of storytelling of those who work the land reorient definitions of \u201cenvironment\u201d and climate action and \u201cresilience\u201d agendas.

Yet critics argue that it comes at the cost of an accelerating environmental crisis, mental health problems, social anomie, and violent inequalities. Drawing on diverse theoretical approaches, this seminar first explores the ecological, political, cultural, and psychological aspects of consumerism in the United States. The course then critically examines a range of alternative movements and paradigms that seek a life beyond consumerism, such as anti-corporate activism; ethical and political consumption; voluntary simplicity; neo-Luddism; freeganism; circular economies; degrowth; commoning; and relocalization.

At the same time, these mountain ranges began to be claimed in the constructions of national and ethnic identities that reshaped Central and Eastern Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. The course examines the role ascribed to the Alps and Carpathians at a pivotal time in European history, when the demise of empires and rising nationalism, but also new ideas about class, gender, ethnicity, and race, fundamentally restructured dynamics of power on the continent. Recommended background: a 200-level course focused on the study of literature and\/or film in any department.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"course-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<summary>More details<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><span class=\"label\">Modes of Inquiry:<\/span> [AC], [HS]<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Writing Credit:<\/span> [W2]<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">GEC(s):<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Cross-listed Course(s):<\/span> EUS 322, HIST 322<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor:<\/span> Raluca Cernahoschi<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor Permission Required:<\/span> No<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details><p class=\"catalog-full-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.bates.edu\/course-search\/?details=1&#038;code=ENVR+322\" target=\"course-805\">Full Catalog Listing<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"catalog-course _full-view\" id=\"course-806\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5>ENVR 329: Human Dimensions of Wildlife Management<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course-description\">As biodiversity loss occurs rapidly around the globe, wildlife conservation is one of humanity\u2019s most complex and critical challenges. Wildlife population declines primarily stem from an inherent conflict between two competing forces \u2013 the finite capacity of ecosystems and an increasing demand placed on those systems by humans. Since wildlife conservation is often said to be \u201c10% working with wildlife and 90% working with people,\u201d students will explore how human actions, attitudes, and perceptions affect wildlife conservation and management. This course investigates how citizens, governments, and organizations protect wildlife in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures while also considering a variety of stakeholder needs and opinions. Using case studies and data from the field, students will examine terrestrial ecosystems and associated human dimensions, analyze qualitative data, and learn advanced skills needed to be successful conservation biologists and managers.

So how can war be made to end, and what happens in its aftermath? This course introduces students to theories on environmental conflict, cooperation, and peacebuilding, and explores multi-scalar strategies of dispute resolution, disarmament, demobilization, reintegration, memorialization, and restorative and transitional justice in the environmental context. What does it mean to make peace not just politically but socio-ecologically? Can nature be a site of healing after trauma? Is it possible to merge ecological restoration with social reparation? Materials draw on case studies from across the world to explore the complexities of (post-)violent landscapes and to learn from those working towards peace, repair, and healing on a wounded planet.

We will engage the historical, economic, cultural, and political dimensions of climate change, as well as adaptation and mitigation responses to it. This course does not attempt to present a comprehensive review of the political ecology literature on climate change. Rather, it is designed as an exploration of political ecology\u2019s insights and arguments as they pertain to climate change impacts, governance, and politics. The course is divided into four units: (I) defining the political ecology of climate change field, (II) doing political ecology research, (III) exploration of climate cases, and (IV) political ecology applied: climate case studies. Throughout the class, students engage in collaborative, community-engaged research centered around a local or regional climate issue of their choice.

This course considers how the region\u2019s entry into the global economy, particularly regarding the arrival of industrial and consumer-oriented agricultures, impacted these cultures, participated in new waves of displacements and migrations, and generated new relationships between communities, commodities, nations, and ecosystems. In this course, we approach these changing contexts and agricultural realities as deeply human stories: full of contradictions, collective anxieties, injustices, and possibilities for hope and healing. Students consider the nuances of wider social, environmental, and historical changes wrought by industrial agriculture in the Mediterranean Basin through weekly discussion of scholarly readings and diverse media formats\u2013including fiction and documentary films, novels, comics, and fine arts. Recommended background: at least one course on film and literature analysis or cross-cultural investigations of power.

How does land become landscape? How does place become property? This course seeks to answer such questions by decentering a white, patriarchal, Eurocentric vision that has canonized histories of landscape and situated survey practices as modern strategies of  expansionism. By understanding colonial visual strategies: the emptying of land, erasure of people, picturesque composition, together with modern optical technologies: telescopes, microscopes, cameras, and even firearms, students will dismantle landscape as a scenic facade engineered to assert dominance and legitimize imperial politics. They will explore how landscape is fundamental to identity formation, placemaking, and settlement, connecting contemporary eco-critical methods to scientific missions of the 19th century through a capstone digital humanities project.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"course-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<summary>More details<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><span class=\"label\">Modes of Inquiry:<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Writing Credit:<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">GEC(s):<\/span> GEC C068<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Cross-listed Course(s):<\/span> AVC 371<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor:<\/span> Erin Nolan<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor Permission Required:<\/span> No<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details><p class=\"catalog-full-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.bates.edu\/course-search\/?details=1&#038;code=ENVR+371\" target=\"course-813\">Full Catalog Listing<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"catalog-course _full-view\" id=\"course-814\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5>ENVR 381: Black Geographies: Space, Place, and Ecologies of Power<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course-description\">This reading-intensive seminar explores Black Geographies, an interdisciplinary field at the intersections of Environmental Studies, Africana Studies, and Geography.

Those images belie the realities of the information economy&#8217;s myriad environmental impacts, from resource depletion to water pollution to massive energy consumption. This course, an introduction to the history and politics of infrastructure, directs attention to relationships between human and nonhuman nature, using everyday personal computing as a point of departure.

While groups fighting for food sovereignty mobilize around the rights of communities to access land and water and define their own food systems, food justice addresses the systemic lack of access to safe, sustainable, and culturally-appropriate nourishment faced by communities marginalized by racialized development and colonial legacies. In this course, we will gain a basic knowledge of major ideas and struggles defining these movements, both nationally and internationally, through the discussion of film, case studies, field trips to local food and land justice centers, and conversations with local food and land justice advocates. Local Food is a CEL (Community Engaged Learning) course, where students will volunteer with local food advocates for several weeks. This course aims to empower students to engage with local food movements and consider what broader concepts of justice and sovereignty look like for communities in Southern Maine. Students will develop a creative or public-facing project about a related topic of interest as their final project in this course.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"course-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<summary>More details<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><span class=\"label\">Modes of Inquiry:<\/span> [AC], [CP]<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Writing Credit:<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">GEC(s):<\/span> GEC C068<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Cross-listed Course(s):<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor:<\/span> Christine Martinez<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor Permission Required:<\/span> No<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details><p class=\"catalog-full-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.bates.edu\/course-search\/?details=1&#038;code=ENVR+S24\" target=\"course-822\">Full Catalog Listing<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"catalog-course _full-view\" id=\"course-823\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5>ENVR S26: Overstories: Telling the Lives of Trees<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course-description\">Who tells the stories of trees, how do they tell them, and why? How are the lives and voices of forests captured and constructed? Students in this course address these questions by examining a range of novels, histories, and scientific studies focused on trees and forests, and by constructing their own narratives &#8212; fictional and\/or historical &#8212; about their lives with trees, including those on the Bates campus and in the surrounding community. They consider how trees and forests have been identified by writers as models for human beings and human communities. Students hear from those who work with trees, including foresters and arborists, and consider the ways in which the lives of trees and those of human beings are intertwined. Readings include Richard Powers, The Overstory; John Fowles, The Tree; Lauren Oakes, In Search of the Canary Tree; and Peter Wohlleben, The Secret Lives of Trees.

Landscape ethnography is the approach we take in this class to understand the entangled human and ecological histories of place, and challenge dichotomies of nature and culture. Informed by multispecies, interspecies and more-than-human perspectives across the social sciences and humanities, this class enables students an explorative and creative space to produce a landscape ethnography.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"course-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<summary>More details<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><span class=\"label\">Modes of Inquiry:<\/span> [CP], [HS]<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Writing Credit:<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">GEC(s):<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Cross-listed Course(s):<\/span> ANTH S31<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor:<\/span> Jamie Haverkamp<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor Permission Required:<\/span> No<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details><p class=\"catalog-full-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.bates.edu\/course-search\/?details=1&#038;code=ENVR+S31\" target=\"course-824\">Full Catalog Listing<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"catalog-course _full-view\" id=\"course-825\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5>ENVR S38: Field Methods in Environmental Science\/Lab<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course-description\">Ecology is broadly the study of interactions between organisms and the natural environment. To investigate these interactions, ecologists often conduct fieldwork. Collecting data in the field provides information not only about species and ecosystem function but also human-induced changes that threaten these environments. In this class, students will learn and practice ecological field survey methods. Through this work, they will gather information about local plant species and the physical environment. Students will be expected to collect data, create data visualizations, review peer-reviewed scientific literature, and give presentations about their work.
