HIS3051 Special Topics: Environmental History

Human civilization has both shaped, and been shaped by, the physical environment. This course introduces students to environmental history, a field that traces the story of this human interaction with the environment. Students first gain a broad overview of the major stages of world environmental history by examining ecological studies, historical sources, literary and cultural writings, and visual sources. The course will then examine in more detail some environmental developments of the modern world. Finally, students will apply the strategies of historical research to investigate the impact of a specific development, event, creative work, or invention from an environmental perspective. Students must have completed WRT1012 and HIS at 1000 level OR one 2000-level Humanities (HIS, HUM, PHI, REL) course, either with a grade of C or higher. Credits: 3.000
