Winter 2024: ANTH 210 Introduction to Environmental Anthropology
About: Anthropologists have long been interested in the relationships between people and the natural environment. For most of human history, the relationship between humans and the environments in which they have lived was largely one of resource extraction with relatively low levels of impact. This relationship with the environment changed quite dramatically after the advent of food domestication, as well as after the Industrial Revolution, and has kept pace ever since with new technological innovations and increased global political-economic relations between human populations that have affected the natural world at large. This course will examine both the historical bases for human-nature interactions (as a way of recognizing significant factors to consider in a comprehensive analysis of human-nature relationship), as well as important developments in the contemporary world.
