In the face of the most pressing global challenge of our time, literature has emerged as a powerful medium to examine, critique, and envision our relationship with the natural world. This course delves into the genre of climate change literature, exploring how authors from diverse backgrounds engage with the complexities of environmental degradation, societal impact, and the human condition in the context of a changing climate. From an interdisciplinary perspective, we will engage with a range of literary genres such as novels, graphic novels, poetry, plays, and film, and examine how these works capture the intricacies of climate change and its multifaceted repercussions.
Please note that the first session will be on 17 April.
