- Class Description:
- We have entered the anthropocene--the age in which the impact of human activity on the environment cannot be ignored. From resource extraction, to pollution, to climate change, to potential mass extinctions and ecological collapse, the continued expansion of human society has come at the expense of its natural surroundings. In the process, humanity has become one of the single greatest threats to its own survival. Environmental sociology attempts to understand the origins of this conflict between "nature" and "society." How have various sociological factors, such as social organization, political conflict, labor and resource exploitation, and the rise of consumer culture combined to shape our relationship with the environmental? Why have we been so willing to ignore the risks and consequences of anthropogenic climate change and why has it proven so difficult to build social movements around environmental justice? Collective problems require collective solutions--what broadscale changes must societies adopt in order to mitigate these risks and, ideally, ensure an environmentally sustainable future? This course will tackle all these questions and more.
- Learning Objectives:
- 1) To understand how human activity shapes and has been shaped by its environment.2) To map out the sociological dimensions of why "nature" and "society" are in conflict.3) To explore potential collective solutions to collective problems and how societies might achieve a balance between social progress and ecological sustainability.

- Class Description:
- The human species has exerted a large and increasing influence upon its surrounding natural environment. In last two hundred years, this influence has mushroomed. The human population has multiplied enormously, as has its consumerism and its use of technology to extract resources and dump waste back into the environment. Our planet is like a spaceship, "Spaceship Earth;" it can only support a limited amount of human activities. Human society is now pushing the limits of the planetary ecological systems. Our impact is so strong that our current geological era is now called the Anthropocene--the era of humans being the most powerful ecological influence. We are causing massive degradation of the water, land, atmosphere and extinction of other species.
Core questions for this class - Why is it so difficult for human society to learn to live with the limits imposed by the ecological systems of the planet? What fundamental changes do we need to make in order to create a type of human society that can co-exist with a healthy ecology for a long time? These are the basic questions asked by Environmental Sociology, the basis of this course. Growth of population, increasing affluence and more effective extractive technology are the immediate material factors of our devastating impact on the environment. But beyond these material factors lie many social causes. Human society has a strong tendency to ignore environmental problems. These denial tendencies are caused by sociological factors such as social organization, political processes, profit-hungry economic production, insatiable consumer demand, and beliefs that ignore science and disregard the environment. The course examines these various sociological factors that drive our environmental impact and considers ways they might be changed to create a more sustainable form of society. - Who Should Take This Class?:

- Class Description:
Over the past 150 years, human society's damage to its local and global environment has increased dramatically. Nowadays, those environmental harms are more and more coming back to harm humans as well as other species. If we keep on this way, human society will suffer increasing disasters and not be sustainable into the future. This course explores why this situation has come about and what we can do about it. Three factors: growth of population, affluence and technology, causing more resource withdrawals from and polluting inputs into the environment, are the immediate causes of its decline. The social sciences explain why we have often ignored the issue, even if we have clear natural science knowledge of the problem, and as a result, failed to head off predictable environmental disasters. The current global scale of environmental change presents even bigger risks, but also great opportunities to learn how to cooperate to better manage our "Spaceship Earth."

- Over the past 150 years, human society's effect on its local and global environment has increased dramatically. Nowadays, those environmental harms are more and more coming back to harm humans as well as other species. The biggest example of this negative feedback is global climate change. If humanity continues to pour greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, it will get hit with intensifying disasters. According to James Hansen, these could eventually even wipe out the human species. This course explores why this situation has come about and what we can do about it. Three factors: growth of population, growth capacity to buy more stuff, and the technology to make lots of stuff?all these require energy produced by burning fossil fuels that emits carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. We need to understand why we as a group, despite available information, have let this problem get so bad. Only then can we overcome this inertia and plot an attainable course toward sustainable world.

- Class Description:
- This course introduces students to the theoretical and historical foundations of environmental sociology and environmental social sciences more broadly. We will examine and interrogate the social scientific and scientific evidence concerning these phenomena and the efforts by community residents, activists, workers, and governments to combat it. We will consider the ways in which human and nonhuman forces interact, collide, collaborate and are indeed inseparable. Students will be expected to master social scientific theories and concepts related to the subject matter. In particular, we pay close attention to the ways in which concepts like nature, environment, economy, society, humanity, culture, and the state intersect and shape one another in order to better understand how social and natural systems are constructed, reinforced, and challenged. Questions we will pursue include: how do humans and nonhuman forces work together and why are they so often in conflict? What is the relationship between social hierarchies within human society and myriad impacts on ecosystems? How do we as individuals and groups contribute to ecological harm and how might we be a part of solutions to socioenvironmental crises? Furthermore, students will be exposed to key concepts, theories, and perspectives from outside the social sciences, including climate science, entomology, geochemistry, biology, plant and animal science, earth science and geology, physics, history, public health, genomics, and epidemiology. Studying the relationship between human society and the nonhuman environment is fundamentally an ethical issue and a matter of shared responsibility because it reveals the ways that our everyday activities and the public policies our elected officials enact have real consequences for the health of humans and the ecosystems upon which we depend. We will consider and debate evidence and perspectives from the social sciences and sciences on this matter with an eye toward inculcating the importance of students acting as historical agents of change in the quest for improvements in knowledge, scholarship, and action toward sustainability. In that regard, the class will place particular emphasis on connecting knowledge and practice by requiring students to 1) complete writing assignments and in-class exercises that demonstrate an understanding of the links between the articulation and application of theories and major intellectual ideas in the field of environmental studies; and 2) complete a major class project that allows you the freedom to apply your knowledge in the form of a term paper, a community engagement activity, or a creative pursuit.

- Societal causes/cures of ecological problems such as global warming, species extinction, and resource exhaustion.
- Class Description:
- Environmental sociology studies the interaction of society and the environment. Global climate change, the source of increasing weather disasters as well as species extinction, is the major social and ecological problem of our era. The current rapid climate change is caused by human activity, the burning of oil and gas (fossil fuels), which emit greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. Human society must rapidly reduce its use of oil and gas and create a sustainable society in order to lessen this disaster. We have the technology and capacity to accomplish this task, but so far, only a few countries have accomplished significant reductions. This course focuses on the social causes and cures of climate change using exemplary case studies drawn from around the world.
