This chapter outlines the burgeoning subfields of the environmental humanities and liberal arts and, particularly, of ecomusicology, a convergence of music/sound studies, culture studies, and environmental/ecological studies. In this time of ecological crisis, the author argues that it is essential to reorient the ways we understand the humanities away from anthropocentric thinking and toward an ecocentric approach that recognizes the inherent value of ecological systems within which humans are but one part. The author calls for an environmental liberal arts education that equips people to live well and to care for, nurture, and enhance life itself. In this interdisciplinary endeavor, ethnomusicologists and folklorists can offer the arts of listening well to human and nonhuman subjects.
