MA Wild Writing: Literature, Landscape and the Environment

بريطانيا

ماذا سوف أتعلم؟

Essex is one of the oldest inhabited areas of the British Isles, a landscape shaped by human history. Our MA Wild Writing allows you to explore this landscape and the wilder landscapes of Britain, as well as those across the world, through a combination of science and literature modules. Our field trips take you outside the classroom, often in sun, sometimes in snow or rain. You gain an understanding of key environmental challenges while building your own ways of approaching writing about the wild: creative, critical, and scientific.

One of only five universities in the UK to offer a taught postgraduate course on literature and the environment, we are unique in our combination of modules on contemporary nature writing, ecocriticism, and psychogeography literature.

Our full-year focus on writing about landscape, place, and the environment allows you the choice of focusing on developing your scholarly abilities through exploring ecocriticism, or on developing your creative writing practice about the natural world – or you can aim to advance both.

Your future

Several our graduates from the MA Wild Writing have gone on to undertake successful careers as writers; others are practicing artists, scholars, or environmentalists. One now works on climate change in Washington, another is a “wild practitioner” who work on the relation between nature and mental health, and another now works for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police around Chesapeake Bay!
