Course Summary

In this course, you will learn to see language and literacy as part of the world rather than separate from it. You will develop practical eco-literacy skills to address real sustainability challenges through reading, writing, observing, listening, and acting with care.
Through hands-on activities, you will explore how ecological, social, and linguistic systems connect, and learn tools for creating positive, regenerative experiences through multimodal texts. You will work with others to develop practical approaches for an eco-literate future, using creative methods to imagine new possibilities.
The course introduces you to participatory methods that explore relationships between human language and the natural world, offering ecological perspectives beyond traditional educational frameworks of literacy.
This course is an option course in the Regenerative Futures minor.
