ARGS 842 - History, Culture and the Environment3 credits
This class focuses on the relationship of societies and their physical environments in various historical and cultural contexts. As such, I have set three primary teaching/learning goals: The first is to help students develop an integrative understanding of the core debates and theoretical positions that have informed anthropological and historical considerations of human-environment relations for the past century. The second is to elucidate the historical, political, and cultural underpinnings of contemporary environmental debates. Lastly, I want students to think beyond the strictly “academic” and attempt to apply what they will be learning in this class to questions of public policy, environmental justice, and personal practice. Upon completion of this course, students will not only be able to articulate various intellectual approaches to human-environment relationships, but will also appreciate the practical value of this knowledge in a world of mounting environmental concerns.
