GEG 229 Geographies of Energy
Course Description
Access to the raw materials humans use for energy-fossil fuels, minerals, water, wind, and sunlight-is determined by physical geography as well as politics, economics, culture, and history. From global to local scales, access to and governance of energy resources has geopolitical, economic, and social implications. This course explores these complexities in order to strengthen students' ability to view energy issues through a social scientific lens, as well as to reflect upon what a just energy transition entails. HBSI, Spring semester, odd years.
