National Geographic Explorer and Penguin Random House author Thammika Songkaeo interrogates the mental barriers we face when shaping stories about ‘the environment’ from our own homes.
Challenging the notion that environmental writing must follow a set template, this 2-part course asks: How have we been conditioned to view nature through a pre-packaged lens? What inherited assumptions are we unknowingly recycling, and how can we become engaged environmental writers from anywhere in the world? By challenging biased perspectives, we can learn to write genuinely about our environment as it undergoes a radical transformation—reflecting our true relationship with our ecosystem, no matter where we live.
