ANTH 364 - Environmental Anthro

Institution:

Eastern Oregon University

Subject:

Description:

Global environmental problems are fueled by the burgeoning population of humans with consumptive lifestyles, resulting in dwindling natural resources. To an environmental anthropologist, the human dimensions in these and other contemporary environment problems are their main focus. Many contemporary environmental problems are due to a direct result of social processes. Through the use of the tools, methods, and insights of an anthropologist, light on these global and local problems can be shed. This course will bring to the student an understanding on how the global natural environment has been historically impacted by humans and what currently is happening in the face of globalization through research conducted by environmental anthropologists. Prerequisite: None, but students are strongly encouraged to have had previous experience with lower division courses in Anthropology or Sociology. Student must have at least sophomore standing to register for this course.
