Anthro 168D: Environmental Change and the Politics of Nature 

I developed and was lecturer for this course (Stanford).

This course examines some important environmental changes happening around the world, and considers the role of people’s diverse forms of politics in these changes. We cover the core concepts and methods of analysis of interdisciplinary environmental studies. With readings, documentary films and writing, students will familiarize themselves with a way of thinking that links ecology and society, bringing in issues of gender, ethnicity, race and class.
