ANTH 004 PZ -Environmental Anthropology

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This class provides an introduction to the study of human-environment interactions from an anthropological perspective. We will look at the ways that humans imagine, impact, and manage nature, and what role nature plays in the social lives of people around the world. Through careful reading of ethnographic materials, viewing films, lectures, and discussions, we will analyze the ways that people create boundaries between the “natural” and “cultural” realms, how these boundaries are maintained, changed, or broken down through various practices.
