Environmentalism in Arts and Media

4 credits

With attention to the ecology of Southern California and selected sites beyond, this course addresses historical and contemporary debates on environmental politics from the critical perspective of aesthetic practitioners, activists, and scholars from the 1960s to today. Art and media historical approaches will be offset by hands-on assignments, excursions, and the development of site-specific and creative works in all media. Program or materials fees may apply. Prerequisites: upper-division standing.
