The seminar is a specialist, research-based course based on recent or current work of a Faculty member. Students from both cohorts (1st and 2nd-years) explore a topic within the Environmental Humanities in depth, acquire the skill to work with specific research methods used in the context of this topic, and conduct an individual research project focusing on an aspect of this topic.
