H 307 - North American Environmental History

Institution:

York College of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Environmental history studies the changing relationship between human beings and the natural world through time. Through readings and discussions we will examine a variety of influential issues and themes, from the pre-colonial period to the present, including the impact of settlement on the land and the rise of the modern environmental movement. Our central premise throughout will be that much of the familiar terrain of American history looks very different when seen in its environmental context, and that one can learn a great deal about both history and the environment by studying the two together. 3 credit hours. Satisfies ADR II.
