In this course we will analyze interrelationships between humans and their environments using an anthropological lens. We will study human biological and cultural adaptations to a variety of biomes. We will explore the impacts of human behavior on ecosystems including, for instance, fossil fuel usage and industrialized agriculture; a theme throughout the semester will therefore be climate change. The course also introduces the significance of economic systems to ecosystems. As such, we will consider topics such as consumption, resources and privilege, and human health. Throughout the semester and as our conclusion we will emphasize the importance of resilience, creativity, and action in addressing ecological concerns.
