CEES 0902 - Environment and Society

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Today, one cannot escape concerns and heated debate regarding the ways humans impact the environmental resources of the globe. While for some this is a new exploration, ecological anthropologists have long devoted attention to how people adjust and adapt to the environment, and modify it in turn. This course explores the environment from an anthropological and archaeological perspective. It introduces students to variations in how societies understand, experience, and “treat” the physical environs surrounding them. These cultural and historical variations have important real-world implications for how communities, policy-makers, and special interest groups design and implement programs relating to environmentalism, sustainability, and ecological living around the globe.
