This interdisciplinary seminar explores the relationship between human experience and natural environment in native North America. Assigned readings survey historical and contemporary case studies in New World ethnoecology, including noteworthy examples of adaptation in the context of settler colonialism and in response to the dominant paradigm of scientific ecology. Class discussions are supplemented by audiovisual materials, guest speakers, and relevant campus events. Students have the opportunity to gain a basic understanding of ecological traditions among American Indians; to conduct a research project focusing on a particular theme, issue, region, or community; and to develop their critical skills for use in academic, professional, and personal settings. |

| 4 hours Seminar meets in Room 319 Davenport Hall The Urban Environment This seminar will examine recent work in geography and related fields on the urban environment, largely through an urban political ecology approach. While the human-environment relationship has always been at the core of geography, that has traditionally meant a strong separation between the urban and the natural. This seminar will explore the work of authors who argue the opposite, that there is nothing "unnatural" about cities and that recent trends towards urban sustainability bear this out. Based on participants' interests, readings will cover such topics as urban metabolism, socionature and hybridity, environmental justice, indoor environmental quality, urban agriculture, cities and climate change, and waterfront redevelopment. |
