Harvard University has a course dedicated to exploring how black people “connect” with trees and water, even as higher learning faces mounting criticism over DEI mandates, lowered standards, and exorbitant costs.
The course, titled “The Aquatic, Arboreal, and Atmospheric Life of Blackness,” promises to teach about “the connection between Blackness and elements like water, trees (including wilderness), and climate,” according to the school’s website.
“This course explores the intersection of Black ecologies and Black Religion and theology,” the description reads. “The course investigates how the knowledge generated from these relationships foster anarchist and liberative practices that create alternative epistemic pathways for a more just relationship to earth, as well as counternarratives for challenging prevailing understandings of environmental concepts such as climate change, the Anthropocene, and extraction.”
The Ivy League course, housed in Harvard’s Divinity School of religious and theological studies, grants students four credits for completing it.
