Course description

Students in Environmental Studies will participate in project-based learning that focuses on environmental sustainability through the lenses of science, social justice and responsibility. Through self-selected topics and discussions, students will better understand how current issues like biodiversity loss, climate change, energy use, waste management, agriculture and food security affect the natural world. Students will examine scientific questions related to ecological processes, biodiversity, habitat-loss and landscape modification, human populations and resource use, and how these issues are intimately connected to politics, economics, and social justice. Students will examine changing environmental attitudes in history and media as well as make connections to their own experiences in order to understand the relevance of these pressing environmental and societal concerns.
