CHIST 3401 Environmental History

Environmental history is the intertwined study of how humans and the environment have been shaped by each other. In this class, students will trace an American environmental history that begins before Columbus arrived in America and continues to the present day. Students will apply new historical methodologies and regularly ask the question: how can the study of environmental history help us address contemporary environmental issues in our own community?
