ANTH 373. Anthropological Perspectives on Environment and Development

Credits 3.00 PeopleSoft Course ID 011266 Grading Basis GRD (C)

This seminar provides a history of key ideas and figures in environmental anthropology, as well as examines why this field is, by necessity, interdisciplinary. Within this context, we will use specific case studies to examine ways in which the concepts and theories of “development” and “environment” have been produced, perpetuated, manipulated and challenged in different geographic and politico-economic circumstances. Prerequisite(s): ANTH 195 or permission of the instructor.
