Focuses on the current historical period of humans' relative dominance over major Earth systems. Introduces students to debates surrounding the scientific basis for the Anthropocene, followed by a survey of its major historical periodizations, from the so-called "Paleo-Anthropocene" of human agriculture, to industrialization, to the post-1950 "Great Acceleration" in economic development and resource consumption whose consequences we now face in crisis phenomena such as climate change, water scarcity, resource wars, and environmental refugeeism.
