Representations of Nature (CC 9.1)

Representations of Nature (CC 9.1)

As humans, we create representations of nature in a wide range of media and for many different purposes. Examples in the creative arts include travel writing, landscape painting, field recordings of birds, and wildlife documentaries. Representations of nature for the purposes of scientific understanding include the naming of plant and animal species and illustrations of biological processes. Scientific theories have emerged alongside photographs captured with powerful microscopes and telescopes. Through the analysis of works combining visual, written, and sonic elements, this course will explore the limits of human perception and expression in representing the natural world.

Inclusive Pedagogy

Inclusive Pedagogy

This project aims at empowering students to craft scenarios describing situations from the classroom, or the university environment where inclusion has been lacking. Faculty members will be welcome to reflect on students posts and participate in the discussion. The ultimate goal is to launch a constructive dialog on inclusive teaching/ learning and culturally responsive education.
