UNIV 678 - Topics in Sustainability

Credit(s): 3

TOPICS IN SUSTAINABILITY
Component: Discussion
Introduce students to Sustainability and the Environmental Humanities, and explore how these fields dovetail with the sciences and environmental policy. Taking our cue from Aldo Leopold’s famous mid-century essay “The Land Ethic,” we will engage students from across university disciplines to address several core themes including 1) food production and watershed ecology; 2) changing structures of American values toward land, water, and wildlife; and 3) mid-Atlantic ecology, food, geography, and history to understand how global environmental problems are manifesting in our own local watersheds.
