SOC 3240
Environment, Society, and Land

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

The purpose of this course is to provide a critical understanding of the interconnectedness of environment and society. A primary focus of the course will be the relationship between environmental and social problems as well as the many political ideologies, philosophies, and movements that have continually redefined how we think of environment and sustainability. By discussing issues of science and technology, popular culture, economics, urbanization, environmental change, racial and gender relations, and social movements, this course will reach a broad understanding of environmental issues. Throughout our exploration of environmental issues we will examine how environmental outcomes, at the local, as well as the global level are affected by (and affect) social inequality, power, community, and knowledge.
