Professor JC Lee
W 6-8:30 PM
Daily we encounter the natural world. Walking in the woods, but also walking in the city—trees pushing up the sidewalk on Wightman Street, coal barges plying the muddy Monongahela. To say there is properly no wilderness left is not to yearn for some imagined time before, but rather to acknowledge our beautiful, troubled entanglement. How human history and bodies have shaped, and continue to be shaped by, Nature. In this course, you’ll read personal essays, reportage, and poetry by writers who bring their own and their families’ histories to bear on the landscape: meditations on LA’s unlikely nature and a community garden in Indiana, a story on falconry and a father’s death, considerations of fireflies and frontline communities. You’ll be encouraged to write about a place dear to you, to explore the natural world around you by way of research, journeying, art, and memory.
