Environmental Studies 363: T ourism and the Environment
4.00 Credits
St Lawrence University
Ecotourism has long been heralded as a way for communities to avoid the apparent perils of extractive industries while reaping the benefits of economic uses of their natural resources. Recently, it has become apparent that the relationships between tourism and the natural and cultural landscapes upon which it depends are more complex and more contested than originally thought. This course examines the practice of nature-based tourism and consequences on the environment and local cultures. The extensive literature on this topic is examined from managerial, industry and participant perspectives. Examples are drawn from the United States and internationally. Prerequisite: Environmental Studies 101.

Environmental Studies 404: SYE:The Green Backlash:Science and Politics of Environmental Opposition
4.00 Credits
St Lawrence University
Since 1970, a broad-based environmental movement has mobilized widespread public support for ecological protection. Successful incorporation of environmental concerns into the mainstream political agenda in industrialized countries has spurred an active opposition from diverse interests. Are environmentalists really scare-mongering, elitist, anti-progress, anti-human tree-huggers? In seminar format we evaluate the works of selected environmental critics, analyze the origins, agenda, actions and interconnection of these critics, and assess strategies for response. Students undertake a major individual research project evaluating the underlying science and the stances in selected controversies. Prerequisites: senior standing in the major and permission of instructor.
