The purpose of this course is to provide a broad overview of prevailing environmental sociology discourse, and to help students understand the human dimensions of contemporary environmental problems. In essence, social perspectives allow us to understand the dynamics between the social sphere and environmental sphere. We will cover a variety of substantive topics, including: conflicts over natural resource access and control; environmental health; environmental justice; technological disasters; environmental movements; and globalization and environmental change. This course will focus on making critical connections between major sociological perspectives, environmental problems, and our everyday lives. The format of the class will be an integration of lecture and discussion each week. We will also engage with and discuss creative works that are relevant to various environmental sociology discourses discussed in class.
