Description

Maybe you don’t think much about nature, or maybe you are someone who likes to be outdoors a lot. What does “nature” mean to you, and what are the important conversations about it today? One important conversation is about saving it, but there are others as well. Each generation of Americans has defined nature in a different way. And because nature cannot speak our language, humans have for centuries attempted to give voice to nature in poetry and prose. This new honors course will explore nature writing from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century and will challenge students to add their own voices to nature.
