Environmental Studies 368A: ST:Suburbs,Cities,& Rural Frontiers:Human-Built Environments in America Jordan
3.00 Credits
Whitman College
Practitioners of environmental studies have increasingly argued that the assumed dichotomy between people and nature is a misleading one - that people are an integral part of the broader non-human world and that we should instead analyze the close interaction between the two. The environmental studies field has therefore expanded to investigate communities in which people live, work, and play. This class will examine the broad range of environments which different groups of Americans have called home and the ways in which these locales have endured and changed from the pre-colonial period to the present. We will pay particular attention to the overlap between human-built communities and nature, such as the ecological impacts of industrialization and suburbanization and the presence of the "wild" in human-built environments such as city parks and zoos.
