Section Information for Fall 2023
Human-caused warming of planet Earth is posing unprecedented challenges to global environments and societies. This class asks how the tools of history can help us navigate our present-day climate crisis. How have factors like colonialism, capitalism, and fossil fuel extraction contributed to the emergence of global warming? What resources have helped Earth scientists study the realities of climate change? How have scholars, activists, and concerned citizens worked to make political headway for climate justice in the face of business-as-usual opposition? We will consider a wide variety of historical sources and case studies to build understanding of the intersecting environmental and social emergencies of our time.
