Housed in South Hall, UC Santa Barbara\u2019s\u00a0English Department<\/a>\u00a0is a national leader in the study of Literature and the Environment (also known as ecocriticism and\u00a0“green” criticism).\u00a0What makes us unique is that, with a range of\u00a0faculty members doing diverse though often\u00a0interconnected research, we have seamless, strong coverage in ecocritical coursework from the early Renaissance through the 21st century.\u00a0 Moreover, we explore environmental issues from British, American, and Global perspectives, using a host\u00a0of methodological approaches, with such emphases as non-human\/human relations, environmental and social justice within a global rather than national context, and the political impact of institutions, networks, and regimes on bodies and the biosphere.\u00a0Such diversity has allowed\u00a0students to take courses as varied as \u201cAmerican Romanticism and Environmental Imagination,\u201d “Postcolonial and Global Ecological Imaginations,” \u201cMilton and Ecology,\u201d “Natural Representations: Wordsworth, Dickinson, Bishop,\u201d and “Animal Theory.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>
