Class Details
This course introduces environmental studies as an interdisciplinary field of learning. Concerned with the complex dynamics of nature-society relations, environmental studies is indispensable to the development of societies that promote the well-being of people, animals and their habitats. Organized around the ecological, social and ethical knowledges that dominate environmental studies, we explore the nature of this knowledge and its implications for sustainability. We also examine the evolving history and philosophy of environmental studies, and note how different conceptions of nature, society and interdisciplinarity inform the field.
