ANTH 4060 - Environmental Anthropology

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisites: ANTH 1102, ANTH 2010, ANTH 2020, or ANTH 2030 with a grade of C or higher, or consent of instructor.
Requirements: City Scholars course.

Description
During this course we will examine how humans interact with and are influenced by environmental resources, as well as how our actions impact natural resources and ecological systems. Human populations and cultural groups are therefore (re)situated in nature. To explore environmental anthropology as a sub-field, the course is structured as a survey of the discipline, examining topics such as historical ecology, population ecology, cultural constructions of “nature,” the anthropology of environmentalism, political ecology, and global environmental issues.
