Essay #3. Bibliography. 1k. Investigative record of your research process for one of the other essays: how you found what you found, where you went looking, what worked, what didn't, what this tells you about your process and your own learning.

Essay #2: Introduction to Literary Research. 2.5k. A critical commentary on 1964 in literature as a potential start date for the Anthropocene, examining one of Le Guin's first short stories published in Fantastic magazine and contextualising the literary landscape at the time.

Essay #1: Literature&The Environment. 4k. Discussing how contemporary queer women writers sacralize the environment as a site for radical extensions of empathy and imagination, and why the poetic form is activism in action when talking about this.
