Description

The growing recognition of the reality and consequences of global environmental change poses a fundamental challenge to the ways we interact with the environment and each other, and places new demands on sociological thinking. This course introduces conceptual tools for approaching environmental issues from the local to global level. International, national, and local studies of human interaction with different aspects of the environment will explore contemporary issues, such as environmental justice movements and biodiversity conservation efforts. Students will have the chance to apply concepts and critical thinking skills through undertaking a social action project.
