Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

This anthology was created in the fall of 2017 by honors students at Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH for the course ENGL 205 Literature and the Moral Imagination. ENGL 205 is part of Xavier's core curriculum: all Xavier students take ENGL 205 and three other courses in the Ethics/Religion and Society program.
The theme for this section of ENGL 205 is: Can Books Save the Earth? Throughout the semester, we've explored the role that literature and other art might play in helping us confront climate change and other environmental dilemmas.
For this assignment, students created profiles of "Anthropocene artists"--that is, living artists whom they believe exemplify some vision of the Anthropocene. Students selected and researched their artists; they've also introduced their artist to the class in panel presentations. (Profiles are grouped here into virtual "panels").
