| Abstract: |
In this course we will explore the interdisciplinary field of Political Ecology. Political Ecology is a theoretical and methodological approach for the study of socio-ecological systems that focuses on conflict, power and the uneven distribution of environmental costs and benefits. This course will familiarize you with core concepts used by political ecologists at ICTA and teach you how to apply these concepts to your empirical material. We will introduce you to a profoundly new, critical way of looking at and understanding environmental problems, politics and policies. By the end of this course you should be able to conduct, if you wish, a political ecology research project on you own. In addition, you will learn how to read and analyze social science, and you will improve your writing and argumentative skills. |
