Environmental humanities: a trip to the Spanish Mediterranean

This course is an excellent opportunity to tackle the global problem of climate change, a reality that will define the societies of the present and the future.

Specifically, it offers an academic and experiential training that deals with the environmental problems and solutions of the marine world in general and the Spanish Mediterranean in particular, through a dialogue with significant contributions from the field of Hispanic humanities.

In this way, history, art, literature, thought and education converge in areas such as marine biology, environmental science, ecology and sustainable development.
