Dr. Carol Dickson, Faculty in
Environmental Humanities
and Associate Dean of
Academics & Advising
Within Sterling’s Environmental Humanities area, Carol teaches courses in
literature, writing, and cultural studies,
ranging from Foundations of Environmental Humanities to Race & Gender in
Images of the American West to Global
Environmental Literature to The Meaning of Things. She has taught in diverse
settings — from Goddard College and
The Putney School to student travel
programs in Ghana, Nepal, Israel, New
Zealand, and Kazakhstan. Carol’s hobbies seem to grow from a lifetime of living near the northern border: traditional Quebecois fiddle music, ice hockey,
and cross-country skiing. She and her
partner raise sheep for meat and fiber
in East Montpelier.
