Additional information

Environmental Humanities is a multidisciplinary sequence that studies the way societies interact with the environment. While scientists measure physical aspects of environments and environmental change, humanities scholars focus on the many ways in which people have lived sustainably-- or unsustainably-- over time; the battle for resources; exploitation of labour, forced labour and slavery; the economics of sustainability; policy and politics around development and sustainability; the ways writers have described and understood the natural world and its land and marine environments, cultures and peoples.
