In 08F at 10A, Restorative Measures. In response to environmental degradation, many people dedicate themselves to repairing or restoring the natural world, or protecting it from further damage, or advocating on its behalf. What's behind that response Stephanie Mills writes in her book In the Service of the Wild, "Restoration is about accepting the brokenness of things, and investigating the emergent property of healing." Through presentations by outside speakers, covering a range of topics-including ecopsychology, environmental justice, environmental education, and land conservation-this class will explore the theories behind and consequences of various restorative practices. Through independent research projects on a restorative measure of their choosing, students will develop and deepen their own analyses. The goal will be to study the "restoration" paradigm closely and through that study to illuminate aspects of our relationship with the natural world that we might not otherwise have seen. OsbIn 09S at 2, Environmental Economics and Policy. Prerequisites: Economics 1 and Environmental Studies 2 or 3 or the equivalent, or permission of the instructor.
