Writing in Environmental Studies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Environmental studies is a broad discipline that explores humans and their relationship with the natural environment. The discipline encompasses ecology and environmental science, as well as policy, law, economics, and sociology. It is important to remember that nearly any topic can be studied in terms of its relationship with the natural environment, which is why the field is interdisciplinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given this interdisciplinary nature, writing in environmental studies is also quite interdisciplinary. Common types of writing you may encounter include lab reports, response or reflection papers, research papers, and practicum write-ups. This page contains some tips and strategies that will hopefully prove useful as you come across these different kinds of writing in your ENVS classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
