ENVS 29901 - Cultural Studies in Energy

Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
CULTURAL STUDIES IN ENERGY This course will consider the complex relationship between energy extraction and cultural production through a broad investigation of literature, music and visual art alongside historical and critical sources about energy. We will explore methods across the humanities for looking at the role that energy plays in culture, focusing on three areas: nuclear power in Japan, oil in Nigeria, and fossil fuels in and around Appalachia. We will conclude the course by researching and imagining energy alternatives. Students will be invited to respond both critically and creatively to the topics explored in the course. [AH]
