Objectives
On successful completion of the course, students are able to discuss several theories of different types of waste and use them to analyse relevant textual representations, both orally and in writing. They recognise how understandings of waste depend on context, and can explain recent changes, caused by emerging environmental awareness, in waste discourses. Students are also able to identify some ways in which images of waste reflect fundamental issues of identity, gender, morality, aesthetics, social justice and ecology.
