  • HIST 2060 - History and the Environment


    The purpose of the U.S. Environmental History class is to give students a broad understand of “environmentalism” and environmental issues as they have emerged and evolved through over three-hundred years of American history.  The course affords the class an opportunity to examine environmental concepts through a multi-faceted, multi-disciplined approach which touches on many areas of academic study beyond history, including political science, biological and climatological science, physics, sociology, anthropology, and literature.  White the course emphasizes an understanding of environmental issues and problems through the historical model, it is hoped that students will leave with a better “grasp” of, and appreciation for, environmental concerns which threaten and confront the current generation.  A study of environmental problems through history gives students the opportunity of better understanding the current crisis.  Additionally, an understanding of the past is a vital component in equipping students with the tools and knowledge in seeking viable solutions and alternatives to today’s environmental challenges.
