Course Description
An introduction to the key theoretical approaches and research within the field of environmental sociology, and an examination of the ongoing research on how environmental problems have roots in social processes, such as culture, community, social inequality, social organization and social structure. Students will examine how ideologies about the environment are socially constructed, as well as how political and institutional forces impact how we interact with the environment and respond to environmental problems. The class will examine contemporary environmental concerns and debates with a specific focus on how structural inequalities based on race, class, and gender impact access to environmental resources and exposure to environmental hazards. Students will develop a working knowledge of sociological research methods and theoretical perspectives in their analyses of the relationship between human societies and the physical environment.
