Environmental Humanities take into account intersecting trends in politics, academic, and popular engagement with environmental issues as states by Sergio Gomez. It is frustrating that a society advanced as ours still do not acknowledge the importance interdisciplinary jobs and how it significantly contributes to its the well-being of its society. These majors are trying to midgate oppression through different lenses of creativity to creates hope, and advances in equality for all ethnicities. Even though this major is not in the science fields it should not be looked down upon. In the article called, Yale Environmental Humanities Initiative written by Sergio Gomez stated “ We cannot dream of sustainability unless we start to pay more attention to the human agents of the planetary pressure that environmental experts are masters at measuring but that they seem unable to prevent”(3). This would be a perfect example of measuring change, people who want to resolve Climate Change should be encouraged towards the interdisciplinary careers and not just the sciences. awareness and understanding are vital for social change if we are trying to spark a better social movement.
It was neat how Gomez also wrote, The Four Directions for Environmental Humanities. It demonstrated the wide range of options we can do within this major. This article reinforces my stance on how I want to contribute in this field. I would like to mitigate Alienation and Intangibility, and change Negative Framing through awareness.
