PHR 320 EcoCulture and Sustainability
One response to contemporary climate change and environmental crisis has been the rise of eco-conscious cultures. This course explores the ethics of eco-cultures across regional, national and international contexts and asks, ‘How are skills used to abate environmental degradation?’ ‘How does ‘green consumerism’ impact climate change?’ and ‘Can society be designed to achieve environmental sustainability?’ Global critiques of eco-culture in relation to sustainability are also considered. Ethnographic fieldwork and case studies ground the course’s study of topics as diverse as cheesemaking, oyster and cotton farming, permaculture, gem mining, or veganism.
