ELP 548 Advanced Global Political Ecology

In order to grasp the emerging discipline of political ecology, we cover the following themes: the impact of globalization on human and non-human communities; the relationship between poverty and environmental degradation; the distribution of resource use and commodification in the global North and global South; and the relationship of these issues in our personal lives. Students apply these concepts in real life through a multi-media study and presentation of a commodity in terms of its production, distribution and consumption.
