SOC189J PO - Global Environmental SociologyWhen Offered: Each Spring
Instructor(s): S. Stefanos
Credit: 1
How do we address global climate change in an equitable way? What happens when species disappear? Why do dams in China affect us in the United States? In our sociological study of the environment, we will learn how questions like these and global problems we might be familiar with are connected to issues of race, class, gender, power, and capitalism. Through exploring topics as diverse as pollution, indigenous approaches to resource management, climate justice, and vulnerability to pandemics, we will look beyond technical and scientific aspects of contemporary environmental issues to their social roots and implications. Letter grade only.
