Overview
About the course
The Introduction to Nature and Environmental Writing course at the University of the Arts London (UAL) will explore how writers have grappled with ecological issues, particularly in more recent times. Nature writing can also intersect with memoir, travel writing, activism, and the essay form in general. We will discuss these intersections and crossovers as part of our weekly conversations.
Students will be encouraged to explore their own personal or individual relationship to an environment near them and to question and delve into their place in the natural world. It is this relationship that they will be invited to write about. Students do not need any specialist knowledge. The focus will be on storytelling and exploring our place in the natural world.
