SOCIETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Component: Lecture
A substantive and theoretical introduction to environmental sociology.

Topics include the nature-society dichotomy, environmental inequality, climate change, and environmental gentrification. In all, students learn how environmental issues are related to and products of social structure, global capitalism, and policies that address current environmental problems for future generations.
