This course contextualizes the current crisis of climate change in histories of global change, exchange, and environmental and social exploitation. Among the topics covered are colonialism, resource extraction, cultural domination, industrialization and development, and the unequal impacts of climate change today. This course will also delve into the unequal abilities of different social groups to generate and implement solutions, contributing to our understanding of power and inequality in our social worlds. Students can expect to build the tools needed to understand, evaluate, and contextualize global social and environmental issues, while also developing their skills in writing and research. Background courses in environmental and social sciences are helpful for this class but are not required.
