Why study Environmental Humanities at UBC Okanagan?
The environmental humanities is a new configuration of humanities disciplines (principally literary studies, history, philosophy, Indigenous studies, human geography and cultural anthropology) that understands environmental issues as inseparable from the specific cultural contexts in which they appear.
Students enter into constructive dialogue with other subject areas to analyze and address a wide range of issues in sustainability, and thereby optimize the cultural and ecological impact of academic research.
