Environmental Studies is an interdisciplinary
program concerned with the relationships between human communities and the
natural environment. As population
growth and technological change intensify human impacts on the environment, our
long-term prospects for justice, peace and prosperity depend increasingly on
how we manage and share what nature provides.
In this course, we address specific environmental problems from multiple
perspectives, asking how the conceptual frameworks, research methods, and
findings of scholars in diverse fields may contribute to solutions. Occasional
guest speakers and widely varied readings provide the foundation for class
discussion, lectures, student presentations and writing assignments. A core course required for moderation into
the Environmental Studies Program, ES 101 is taught in rotation by members of
the program faculty. Instructors select the specific research problems to be
addressed. In 2003, our central theme is water. Human societies – and many non-human species – depend on fresh
water. Access to fresh water is often
imperiled by pollution and overuse, denied to many who cannot afford it, and
contested among communities and nations.
These conflicts are manifest, for instance, in the construction of large
dams that displace communities and destroy ecosystems; in corporate investments
in a “privatized” fresh water industry; and in the threat of “water wars”
fought over this most vital resource.
We will draw case studies from the Middle East, India, and the US
Southwest.
