| Our combined degree of English Studies and Climate Change at Aberystwyth University provides a thorough and critical understanding of the ideological debates that shape the ways we read and write, challenge our perceptions of the places we read and write about, and interrogate who we are. You will encounter texts that explore and represent climate change, that evaluate the climate challenge and its political, economic, social, and ecological impacts. By raising provocative questions about human responses to climate change (which invariably involve the written or the spoken word) this course will equip you with the skills and knowledge to analyse diverse perspectives on a global challenge. You will also develop your own writing across a wide range of styles (critical, genre-fiction, poetic, non-fiction, and so on) informed by your understanding of the science and politics underpinning the climate crisis. |
