ENGL 131B PZ - Fiction Insurrections: Punk Nerd Revolution!
This course is designed as a workshop. As part of our constructive writing community, you will strive to create compelling works of fiction–work that demands to be read. We will be guided by the notion that, like any truly brilliant act of insurrection, genuinely innovate writing is equal parts risk, focus, and determination. Through a careful examination of selected literary Insurrections–textual most-pits, if you will–we will fine-tune our critical abilities to incorporate meaningful rebellion in our own work. From Gertrude Stein’s surrealist narrative transgressions, to Andre Breton’s 1928 ultra-proto-punk Nadja, to Patti Smith’s howling history-laden rants, to Alice Fulton’s call for writers to treat “the tongue as a muscle,” to Leonard Cohen’s inter-millennial telephonic raw lust odes in Beautiful Losers–we’ll even throw in a classic Riot Grrrl song and a Fugazi punk lament for good measure–we will learn from the smartest and boldest rebels with a cause. And we will write. And edit. And revise. a lot. Let the punk nerd revolution begin!

EA 068 PZ - Ethnoecology
Formerly ENVS 148 PZ This course investigates the ecological priorities and concepts of various peoples, from so-called “fourth world” hunters and gatherers to “first world” scientists. What we isolate and consider as ecological knowledge includes those aspects of culture that relate to environmental phenomena directly (e.g., resource exploitation) and indirectly (e.g., totemic proscriptions). Thus, this ecological knowledge affects subsistence and adaptation. Ethnoecology-the study of cultural ecological knowledge-begins, like the science of ecology itself, with nomenclatures and proceeds to considerations of processes. In this course we study beliefs about the relationship between humans and the environment as expressed in both Western science and the traditions of Native peoples, and we explore where these cultural systems of knowing intersect and diverge.

EA 152 PZ - Nature through Film
We examine how ideas about nature and the environment and the human-nature relationship have been explored in film. From wildlife documentaries, to popular dramas of environmental struggles, to cult classics and Disney’s animated visions of nature, the human-nature relationship has been depicted through film to transmit particular views of the world, especially certain constructs concerning gender, race and ethnicity. We view and study films, read relevant theory, and actively critique ways in which our worldview has been shaped and impacted by cinema. Students write 8 five-page papers during the semester.
