Learning outcomes

The objective of the course is twofold: First, to provide environmental studies students with a diverse set of anthropological methods that will enable them to conduct research (text analysis, film analysis, digital humanities, participant observation, interviews). At the same time, the goal is to equip students with intellectual antibodies against the most common fallacies an environmentalist may commit (belief in the noble savage, essentialism, biological and cultural reductionism, etc.). All of this is viewed through the lens of environmental anthropology, whose fundamental themes, history, and controversies every student should be familiar with by the end of the course.
