Human societies vary tremendously in how they interact with the natural environment, including how they defi ne, use, and allocate natural resources, how social systems have been shaped by climate, space, and the presence of other species, how societies' members have viewed their role in the ecosystems, and the manner in which human activities have altered their habitat over time, both intentionally and unintentionally. At the same time,there has been less variation in how the consequences of environmental degradation and misallocation of resources are experienced; within and across societies, the consequences of poor environmental stewardship tend to be suffered disproportionately by the less privileged members of local and global social orders. In this course, we will explore the relationship between humans and the environment throughout history and across the globe, with particular attention to environmental justice issues, the emergence of environmental consciousness and cultures, and the interaction between environmental, economic, and social components of "sustainability."
