In this course, students will explore the entangled relations between humanity and the environment from multiple social contexts and time periods. Throughout the class, students will read, analyze, and discuss interdisciplinary scholarship from the social and behavioral sciences. Classroom activities will take the form of discussion, projects and group assignments, and writing assignments, with an emphasis on peer-to-peer learning. Students will create a project aimed at a public audience that demonstrates knowledge about key course topics and communicates connections between social/behavioral knowledge and personal, civic, ethical, or global decisions and policies. As a result of taking this course, students will be able to understand and evaluate critical questions about humanity and its ecologies, recognize the importance of those questions for various audiences, and draw connections between course materials and their own perspectives about the world.
