ARGS 842 - History, Culture and the Environment3 credits
Focuses on the relationship of societies and their physical environments in various historical and cultural contexts. The three primary teaching/learning goals are: 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; to elucidate the historical, political, and cultural underpinnings of contemporary environmental debates; and, to have students 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. Students may not only be able to articulate various intellectual approaches to human-environment relationships, but may also appreciate the practical value of this knowledge in a world of mounting environmental concerns.
