Fulfills the graduate theory requirement. Starting in the nineteenth century in the United States, the great outdoors implicitly and explicitly became racialized. It was whites (but not all whites) who could turn to the outdoors as a source of leisure and repair, while for others it was a place of danger, exclusion, work, or where they became ornaments. This course explores critical writings and creative works with an emphasis on theory that seek to reimagine nature, the wild, the human, and the outdoors to center the perspectives of Indigenous, Black, Asian, and Latinx peoples.
