Description
Political ecology offers a new way of looking at urban space by interweaving natural systems with social analyses of power. Seen through this lens, cities are dynamic spaces where non-human nature (water, plants, animals, minerals) interact with human social systems and ideas (race, gender, poverty, social justice, sustainability). Students explore selected topics and are introduced to research and methods in political ecology, urban environmental geography, and environmental history. Emphasis is placed on Canadian cities while global context is also considered.
