Have you noticed that your mood changes according to the weather? Some days we are blue and rainy, while in some others we are sunny and flowering. But what about the places where ecological seasons are not exactly as we were told in kindergarten. In this course we are going to talk about the two-way relationship between culture and nature in Latin America. Aimed for undergraduate students from all majors, we are going to read fiction and non-fiction texts to understand Latin American cultures in their “natural” landscapes. We will dive into the environmental movements, ecological strengths and challenges in Latin American societies with an intersectional approach. By the end of the course, maybe, we will be able to answer what it means to be human in a world which is constantly changing.
