ID 294 - Environment, Culture and Development

This course/seminar explores a wide variety of themes at the intersection of culture, development and contemporary environmental problems. The course/seminar is built on two key premises: first, humans are part of nature as each society exists within the natural world, and second, environmental problems are social problems as they concern human relations with the natural world. Discussion focuses on the dialectics of nature and culture; questions of population and contemporary environmental problems; the politics of resource access, use and control; indigenous knowledge and policy practices relating to the management of renewable natural resources; environmental movements and international power relations.
