ENST 207: ENVIRONMENTAL STORYTELLING
Spring 2025 · Section 001 · CRN 26667
How can storytelling help us respond to the climate crisis? What’s the point of climate comedy? How much do narratives actually change peoples’ minds, and why are some more effective than others? This course examines these and related questions by considering examples of fictional storytelling for social change from a range of mediums and situating them within research on narrative persuasion from history, cultural criticism, communication studies, psychology, and sociology. For their final project, students will have the opportunity to apply these lessons by creating their own environmental media.
