ENGH 367 - 001: Global Environmental Lit

How do stories make environmental crisis visible? This course explores contemporary world literature in English through the lens of ecology, extraction, and land. We will read novels, short stories, poems, and plays that confront legacies of colonialism and environmental injustice. Drawing on postcolonial ecocriticism and Indigenous perspectives, we ask whose knowledge counts, how narrative form registers slow violence, and what literature can do in a time of climate change.
