ENVS 032. Environmental Justice in Latin America

(Cross-listed as PEAC 021)
This course examines interactions between the environment, human politics, and conflict using a variety of concepts, theoretical frameworks, historical and geographical contexts, and methodological approaches. Moving chronologically and thematically, this course will draw on, and build up, your own expertise to study how nature has been historically framed, constructed, and contested, as well as how it intersects with other concepts such as power, violence, resistance, justice, and peace. Latin America, a region that is richly diverse in every sense, is an ideal setting from which to draw applicable insights about these open questions.
