Section Title:
Politics of Nature
Section Info:
How is nature socially produced? How is it mobilized politically? This course considers the political life of “nature” in all its varied manifestations—a resource to be exploited, a heritage to be protected, an object to be governed, and a source of life and livelihood, among others. We will consider texts and other forms of media that focus on: the role of the natural world in processes of settler-colonialism, the relationship between science, nature, and empire, the environmental dimensions of the history of international development, strategies of indigenous rights movements, the birth of the environmental NGO, and the environmental legacies of warfare. The course draws on literature from fields that include the history of science, science and technology studies, political ecology, environmental anthropology, and postcolonial studies. For Chancellor's Scholars; others may enroll with consent of instructor and Director of the Campus Honors Program.
Restriction(s):
Restricted to Chancellor's Scholar-CHPHonors students.
