GEOG 345 - Problems & Practices in Environmental Stewardship

We will draw on foundational and contemporary geographic and interdisciplinary readings in environmental stewardship and earth system governance, exploring issues of social representation, meaning, participation, access, and exclusion in nature. To ground these academic insights in place, we will collaborate with local conservation institutions and conduct site-based work. We will learn, understand and engage with specific stewardship strategies and histories in response to environmental challenges in our local communities, including policies, programs, regulations, and civic engagement, and how they can address goals related to building greater diversity, equity and inclusion.

Anticipated Terms Offered: Bi-annually
