Course Description
This graduate-level class explores the complex interrelationships among
humans and natural environments, focusing on non-western parts of the
world in addition to Europe and the United States. It uses
environmental conflict to draw attention to competing understandings
and uses of "nature" as well as the local, national and transnational
power relationships in which environmental interactions are embedded.
In addition to utilizing a range of theoretical perspectives, this
subject draws upon a series of ethnographic case studies of
environmental conflicts in various parts of the world.
