We will take a deep-dive into theories of political ecology – the critical study of nature-society relationships – by exploring scholarship across geography, anthropology, sociology, and political science. Many of the texts included here are foundational readings in studies of nature, culture, and society. The course does not attempt to present a comprehensive review of the political ecology literature. Rather, it is a critical exploration of theories and themes related to nature, political/economy, and culture. This effort will involve reading theorists like Michel Foucault, Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, Neil Smith, Gilles Deleuze, Donna Haraway, and Timothy Ingold, among others, and putting them in conversation with empirical casework in political ecology/human geography. As such, this course examines concepts of power, value, gender, assemblages, networks and meshworks, apparatuses and government, and more-than-humans to theorize about and better understand society-environment linkages and the political/economic/cultural drivers and consequences of global environmental change. Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Graduate class standing.
