OCUAH - Environmental Humanities

Healing the world requires deep imagination, creative action, and skillful practices. The Environmental Humanities Program uses the lenses of the humanities – art, history, literature, anthropology, philosophy, religious studies – to complement scientific approaches to the human-environment relationship in order to investigate, envision, and celebrate human engagements with the non-human world. Using narrative, interpretive and creative approaches, we consider how the environment is socially constructed and represented, and bring intellectual and creative rigor to our aspirations for just, sustainable and inspiring relationships among humans and the natural world.
