Course Description:
This course explores the field of environmental anthropology, focusing on how humans relate to, and are influenced by, the natural environment. We will use analytical tools of anthropology to investigate human-environment interactions, and look at a wide range of topics, such as subsistence activities, endangered species, wildlife management, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, “intellectual property rights”, and zoonotic diseases. Drawing together classic anthropological ethnographies and some of the recent debates in environmental anthropology, students will think critically about the ever-changing relations between humans and environment today and discuss how such issues are connected to the socio-cultural, economic, political, and medical spheres of the societies.
