Course Description:
China's environment has changed tremendously over the course of its history just as the environment itself has shaped that history. In this seminar, we will explore how the environment influences temporal, spatial, and cultural patterns in Chinese history and how states and societies have sought to mold the environment to their needs and the consequences of their efforts. We will also look at the comparative and global dimensions of China's environmental history in order to illustrate how understanding the past is crucial to comprehending China's present-day ecological footprint and environmental problems. |
