HIST 3580 - Environmental History

Hours: 4
Environmental history is the study of the interaction between human beings and their natural surroundings through time. This course explores American environmental history from before European arrival in North America to the present. It takes a chronological view of North American history, focusing on the ways in which people adapted to, thought about, and shaped the natural world around them. By examining history in an environmental context, not simply a humanistic one, we can discover new perspectives of both history and contemporary environmental issues.
