ENVI 105 - People, Politics & Environ I

Credits: 4

People live in places and imprint meaning on their environment. This can be a local process but is also inescapably tied to global dynamics. In our present time characterized by high mobility, how do we learn about a new place, and how does this understanding shape our ability to sustain ourselves and our environment? We will develop an approach to studying the place you are as a college student–Binghamton. You will practice a variety of research methods from environmental studies to demonstrate the need to integrate perspectives and approaches when studying the relationship among people, places, and the environment. Offered Fall only.
