Kathryn Morse
HIST
This course was easy but fun and engaging. There are only two major assignments which are 4-5 page papers on the readings and a final group project--all of which you get more than enough time on. Morse was very accommodating to people who turned in stuff late/asked for extensions and the class discussions were very lively and insightful. Would take again.
Contested grounds with Morse was a really enjoyable experience. I found the readings to be really interesting and I definitely learned a lot about environmental thought. It was super cool how expansive and diverse the curriculum was and I was fascinated by learning how marginalized communities have been effected by environmental movements.
The readings are pretty interesting–you learn all about the foundation of American Environmentalism, its developments, and critiques. That being said, the actual class is mostly discussion-based and that doesn't really work in a class this size. It would probably be better if it wasn't required for all ES majors. Regardless, pretty chill.
