ENVS 3600 - Environment and Culture


A global cross-cultural exploration of human-environment interactions. This course will examine a variety of different technological/economic systems ranging from small-scale foraging and horticultural societies to large-scale, complex and stratified societies. Special themes each semester will address different environmental problems and how they have been solved - or not - historically and contemporarily. Such themes might address: the origins and contemporary dimensions of the population debate, the role of “values” in sustainable societies, or controversies between indigenous peoples and environmentalists.

Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisites:  (ENVS 1100 or ENVS 3000 or GEOG 1000) and (ENVS 2150 or GEOS 2320 or ENVS 2250 or BIOS 3010), with a grade of “C” or better in all prerequisites, or instructor approval.

Credits: 3 hours
