GEOG 73 Advanced Topics in Political Ecology

Political ecology is an interdisciplinary field that critically assesses the political dimensions – broadly understood – of both environmental problems and environmental knowledge production.Born out of late 20th century research into the political drivers of resource degradation in the global South, the field of political ecology now examines environmental change, harms, and controversies in a wide range of social and spatial contexts. Political ecology is also home to ongoing interdisciplinary debates about how critical social scientists can most productively engage with the environmental knowledge of natural scientists and others who work with nature. This course offers students the opportunity to explore these debates – especially as they apply to students’ own research interests – while also deepening their understanding of political ecology’s core concepts and epistemological concerns. The course will meet weekly and will run as a seminar.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
