Together we will investigate the interplay among society, human behavior, and the biophysical environment. This is an introductory, overview course in environmental sociology designed primarily for upper-level undergraduates. No formal course work in sociology or other social sciences or environmental sciences is required, but students will likely find it helpful to have a background in these areas. Weekly discussion of assigned material will be an integral part of the course. Discussion of current events will be encouraged.
Assignments consist of take-home examinations and a final term paper.
