Class Notes:
Critical Approaches to Agroecology Description: This course will examine the field of agroecology, which is often framed aspirationally as a synthesis of "science, practice, and movement". Thus framed, agroecology aims to directly engage complex challenges in agricultural, food, and environmental systems by complementing scientific inquiry with work in practical and political domains. As such, agroecology is an effort to increase the agency of science in the face of grave and wicked problems, such as climate change. Agroecology is a rapidly growing endeavor, with many nodes of activity wherever agriculture is practiced. This course will use critical readings and inter- and trans-disciplinary dialogue to examine agroecology as science, practice, and movement, with a goal of better defining course participants' personal and collective identities. Time: Thursdays 2-3pm, 15 sessions. In-person as much as possible. Occasional on-campus field trips (meet somewhere else except classroom)
