GEOGRAPHY OF WAR.

Catalog description

This course investigates the complex relationships between war, the environment, and geography. It explores how landscapes, resources, and ecosystems are both tools and casualties of conflict. The course synthesizes perspectives from geography, history, literature, and geospatial technologies to analyze how the environment is weaponized, manipulated, transformed by war, and how resources, climate and human-physical geographies have been imbricated in the nature of warfare over the course of history.
