LITCR1003 Language, Literature and the Environment
This course will introduce students to Ecocriticism through an examination of contemporary environmental and Nature writing and on-site fieldwork. We will specifically examine cultural constructions of nature/ landscape/ wilderness through a variety of texts including fiction, creative non-fiction, drama, poetry, new media, cartoons, billboards, film, landscape art and installation. All texts in the course will focus on the natural world and our human relationship with the environment. Students will undertake regular fieldwork activity and writing-on-site as a basis for developing their own writing.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
