Environmental Writing

Every environmental field includes writing! In this introductory course you will explore writing about place, your own experience, personal essay, report, technical, publicity and informational or interpretive writing. You will receive valuable feedback from your fellow writers. Past students have published in the college newspaper, the Economist, and one published a novel. No experience is necessary, and writers with experience are welcome. This course satisfies major and certificate requirements.

Robin M. Freeman, Coordinator of the Environmental Management & Technology Program and Co-Director of the Brower Dellums Institute for Sustainable Policy Studies, is an editor with Conservation Press, has published in environmental journals, written textbooks, and co-authored the Sierra Club Yodeler series of interviews which include Linus Pauling, Pete Seegar, Daniel Ellsberg, Ronald V Dellums, Carl Anthony, David Brower, Hazel Henderson, and Dr. Helen Caldicott.
