Teaching environmental imagination.
Abstract
In his path-breaking book, The Environmental Imagination, Lawrence Buell argues that changes in environmental policy and action depend upon changes in the ways we imagine the world around us and our relation to it. Building on this book and its critical reception, I have designed a course intended to introduce environmental literature and thought to first-year college students. This essay describes the premises, structure and methods of the course, and suggests ways of steering students away from simple preconceptions toward an awareness of the complex and occasionally contradictory values and ideas that make up any view of the world around us.
