Description

This course examines human-nature interactions in the context of global social, economic, and political change. We explore the social and historical factors that have shaped environmental challenges (including environmental degradation and inequality) as well as efforts to promote ecological sustainability. Relations of power shaped by economic, institutional, and political systems, as well as those conditioned by race, class, gender, and nationality will be analyzed in the context of global environmental change.
