American Environmentalisms
American Environmentalisms After 1960 In this course we will examine the emergence of multiple threads of environmentalism in the United States since 1960. We will examine popular media portrayals of the environment in crisis through critical analysis of photographs, advertisements, and popular magazines, and environmentalism on college campuses. We will pay particular attention to emerging criticisms of environmentalism for both its failures to address issues of social inequality, particularly those of class and race, and its threat to conventional ideas of economic growth and prosperity. Student work will include essays, independent and group research projects, and collaborative digital projects.

Professor Morse is awesome—any class with her is always worth taking. She is extremely knowledgable and interested in the content of the course. She improves your writing—eliminates passive voice. She is very accommodating and connects well with students.
I greatly enjoyed this first-year seminar. Prof. Morse is extremely kind and accommodating to her students. She emphasizes working with you and is willing to tailor the class to topics the class finds interesting. The workload in the class is very manageable.
