Climate Crisis and the Photography of Place: Home

This course is an extension of the Middlebury-Copenhagen first-year seminar Climate Crisis and Photography of Place: Copenhagen. We will advance our study of the science underlying the climate crisis, conduct independent research to identify causes and effects of global warming in students’ home communities, consider the extent to which successful climate mitigations and adaptations identified in Copenhagen apply to circumstances at home and offer potential solutions, and write a paper on the results of the research. Students will advance their practice of mindful photography by engaging local climate issues and contributing photos and text to a virtual exhibit at the end of the term. The course will be offered on Zoom only. (Open only to those students enrolled in the Middlebury Copenhagen First-Year Program)
