ENVS 61 Evolutionary Environmental Governance

What to do about modern environmental challenges? To answer this question, we will apply an evolutionary and diagnostic perspective to a set of case studies, exploring agricultural traditions in Bali, forest management in the Western U.S., intensive control of the Mississippi river, and the collapse of the northern Atlantic Cod fishery. A key goal of the course is train each student to diagnose the challenges involved in different types of environmental problems, and from this derive prescriptions for addressing these problems.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
