Global Environmental Literatures: Ecologies of Race and Migration . ENGL 141ME
Critically examines literary and cultural works that address the relationships between race, migration, and the environment, illuminating social and political forces that shape human/nonhuman movement and the natural world. How do cultural works centering on marginalized communities reveal systemic inequities and imagine more sustainable relationships with land and water? How are our individual and collective identities entangled with a sense of place? We consider how literary and visual narratives can reflect on global power dynamics and inspire social movements at the intersection of racial and environmental justice. Course texts may include novels, poetry, documentary film, visual art, and select literary criticism.

Great teaching style! Clear and concise, incorporates relevant examples into lectures which help you retain information. Good at explaining confusing concepts in different ways and willing to help you better understand everything. Tests are challenging but doable, if you put in the effort they could come across as 'easy'. No tricks!
The lab portion has unclear homework assignments and his lectures were unnecessary. The exams were pretty easy and were worth 75% of your grade. Hes not a bad professor but the subject was so boring that even he looked bored teaching it.
Hes kinda cute and his tests are super easy
