The course will provide a foundation in political ecology as a key field of critical human-environmental analysis. The course will trace its intellectual development from the 1980s until the present day, while exploring some of the theoretical strands and analytical approaches that form the broader “political ecology” toolkit. Students will learn how political ecology analysis has been used to analyze key human-environmental challenges of the present era and gain experience in applying political ecology analysis to their own field of study. The course will also explore recent theoretical developments and identify areas for further theoretical development in the study of socio-environmental transformations.
