ENVSC 427 - Culture, Power, and the Environment
Credits: 4
An interdisciplinary study of nature-society interactions, attentive to social, cultural, and biophysical contexts and power relations, from a geographic perspective. In this reading-intensive, discussion-based seminar course, students learn about ideas of “nature” from various perspectives. Drawing on national and international case studies, students investigate ecological politics and resistance, the human dimensions of natural resource management, sustainable livelihoods, and environmental social movements in relation to local and global processes. The aim is to have a deeper understanding of the relationship between environmental issues, socio-economic and political processes, conflicts about resource governance and control, and to see these through other people’s eyes.
Prerequisite: ENVSC 110 or FSGHS 201 or permission of the instructor.
Distribution Requirements: IP, PD.
This course counts as Social Science for the purpose of satisfying the College distribution requirement for students who matriculated before Fall 2016.
