Course Description:
Environmental sociology is a growing subfield of sociology which examines the relationship between social systems and ecosystems. It explores the many ways human societies impact the natural world and how the natural world shapes human societies. The goal of the course is to provide an overview of the central debates in environmental sociology and explore current environmental topics from a sociological perspective. At the end of the course, you will be able to describe key theories in environmental sociology and explain how environmental sociologists look at issues like the global climate crisis, the current mass extinction of animal and plant species, the environmental impacts of food production, energy production, ecotourism, and more. |
