Description
Subject Area: Environmental Humanities
This course introduces students to the cultural and political dimensions of some of the key environmental issues of our day. From climate change and biodiversity loss, to toxic waste and genetically modified organisms, all of these environmental issues are unavoidably entangled with human societies, beliefs and values. Through a range of case studies, the course introduces students to a diverse set of tools and approaches to better understand these ‘human dimensions’ of environmental issues.
Environment and Society is the gateway for the Environmental Humanities major but can also be taken as an elective.
