Program details

Overview

This interdisciplinary MA considers the contribution humanities scholarship can make to the response to the environmental and climate crisis. It draws on modules from English, history, modern languages, philosophy, and theology and religion, giving students a grounding in several ways of thinking about the environment. The core module introduces current and emerging topics in the field and shows how histories of environmental degradation are linked with inequalities of gender, race and class. Students then choose a topic of their own and complete an interdisciplinary dissertation under expert guidance, bringing together concepts from across the programme. Part-time students take the dissertation in their second year. Graduates can go on to advanced study in the humanities, or contribute to environmental and climate issues in professional life, where humanities insight can shape decisions and public debate.
