Topic: Global Environmental History Description: At its heart, environmental history is the study of the changing relationship between people and their environments over time. In this course, we will focus on the multiple intersections between environmental history and global history, including imperialism and colonialism, industrialization and consumerism, science and environmentalism, and, of course, globalization itself. In exploring these topics, you will also learn a variety of tips and methods that will help you investigate past environments and the complex role of humans in those environments. The readings for this course are a combination of short historical documents and a balance of articles and books on topics like the controversy over elephants in India’s national parks, the environmental footprint of various commodities around the globe, and why environmentalists in the northern and southern hemispheres have not always shared the same goals and commitments.

This course takes a comparative approach to some of these changes in Europe, America, the Middle East and Asia. Since “family law” is a huge topical area, the main emphasis in our readings will be on marriage: the making and breaking of marital bonds, and the relationship of spouses.
