HIST 415 - Environmental Thought & Politics in Modern America


Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 3
Non-Lecture: 0
This course traces the historical development of American environmental thought and politics from the late 19th century to the present. It will be particularly concerned with the clash between two distinct forms of environmental thought and action: one promoting the sustainable use of the natural environment and the other opposing human intervention into wilderness areas. The course will also explore the ways in which gender, race, class, religion, and globalization have intersected with environmental thought and politics. Not offered on a regular basis.

Prerequisite(s): HIST 302  (HIST 301  also recommended).
