Course Overview:
Environmentalism is an issue at every political level: from
local to national to global. Environmental policies are affected by regimes, by
agreements, by institutions, and by international cooperation. We will explore the nature and scope of
environmentalism, its relationship with politics, and the resulting
consequences in terms of environmental protection, conservation, food
production, industry, and conflict around the world.
This course will be divided into four parts. The first will
be primarily focused on the institutions that effect environmental
policy-making. The second will be how human use of the environment often turns
into abuse of the environment. The third will deal with case studies across the
globe, highlighting environmental issues that are region-specific. The fourth
and most practical dimension of this course is that students will be designing
their very own sustainability projects.
This course will be offered online.
