Environmental Conflict

Catalog description

Environmental Conflict This course considers the conflicts we face as humans communicating among ourselves, about our physical environment and relating to the rest of the world. This will include an exploration of conflicting values, meanings, and discourses that define and construct our understanding of nature/the environment/ natural resources. Within this intellectual context, we will examine how communication creates, shapes, and maintains the social realities we use to make sense of our decisions about how to negotiate relationships between humans and Earth.
