About Humanities: Environmental Humanities (Research Master), MA - at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
Keen to develop in-depth knowledge of the theories, methods and techniques of your research field, connecting them with other disciplines? Curious to find out how your research relates to societal issues? Make the connections that lead to inspiring humanities research.
The Humanities (Research) Master is a unique programme that provides extensive training in research design, in an inspiring and sustainable interdisciplinary research environment. The programme offers excellent preparation for an internationally oriented academic career or for other research-related positions.
The Environmenntal Humanities research master track focuses on the entanglements of nature and culture. In our international and interdisciplinary classroom, we interrelate perspectives from within and outside the Humanities to understand and responsibly inhabit the more-than-human world.
The Environmental Humanities track is open to talented students from the Humanities as well as from related fields, who are looking for ways to analyse ecological questions in their full historical and cultural complexity.
The Humanities are vital
If questions of climate change, species extinction, pollution, or the exploitation of natural resources have in the past mainly been analysed from the perspective of the Natural Sciences, it is becoming more and more clear that humans and their cultural, economic and political systems play a major role in these issues. The Humanities are therefore vital in making sense of these complex problems.
First of its kind
In our core courses, we bring these humanities approaches into contact with perspectives from the Natural and Social Sciences, and engage with the views of artists and activists, to shape a transdisciplinary approach.
Environmental Humanities is one of the tracks of the Master's programme in Humanities (Research). The track is the first of its kind in The Netherlands.
