Section 002. This course explores the historical foundations of environmental sociology, engages the theoretical ideas debated within environmental sociology, and addresses the empirical dimensions of contemporary environmental problems. I am interested in engaging students in revising existing socio-environmental wiki pages using 5 peer-reviewed sources. I would like students to work in pairs.
