Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2593 This course addresses the field of “urban ecology” from the transdisciplinary perspective of “political ecology.” The latter denotes a concern with how nature is configured by societal forms of power (as an object of public concern, expert knowledge, and everyday senses of place), but can also refer to networks of human and non-human actors (including citizens, bureaucrats, plants, animals, artifacts, ideas, etc.) that comprise specific controversies in urban and environmental politics. This class will focus on a single problem of environmental politics and the challenge to make its complexity visible and compelling to those interested in environmental justice.; Crosslisted: Anthropology, Environmental Studies; Enrollment Limit: 15 Social Science, B: Analysis of the Social World (; Hav: SO, B) |
