Karen L. Raber replied to the topic Syllabi in the discussion
Ecocriticism and Environmental Humanities on MLA Commons 11 years agoYes indeed: I’m trying to come up with one for this coming fall for advanced undergrads on the nonhuman in early modern literature/culture.

Ecocriticism and Environmental Humanities on MLA Commons 11 years agoThat sounds like a great idea! I am piloting a new course I’ve developed called Daoism and the Environment and I am combining the Daodejing with more traditional environmental writing including many Native American poets and writers. This grew out of a paper I did last year for an Ecocriticism panel. We’re in our second week of classes and the…[Read more]

Alexandra Berlina started the topic A fantastic play? in the forum
Science Fiction and Utopian and Fantastic Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoDear all,

Thank you!
