HIS104

Examination of environmental history at both the national and international level. This course examines environmental history in relation to economic, social, religious, cultural, and political forces. Special attention will be given to how everyday individuals shaped environmental consciousness. In addition, given that the environment is a global issue, this course will examine global environmental issues such as the Minamata (mercury) poisoning in Japan, the Bhopal Incident in India, the environmental damage in China, Agent Orange, and the issue of environmental injustice. This course is cross listed with Environmental Studies (as ENV-104) and counts toward the Environmental Studies and Peace, Justice, and Conflict Studies majors/minors. GLAFC, Spring semester.
