ANTH463

Climate change is an inherently global problem. To a significant degree, its causes and consequences are cultural in nature: Climate change impacts, mitigation and adaptation efforts are perceived and addressed in culture-specific ways. This course will be an overview of the holistic and anthropological approaches to the study of how culture frames what we know and how we respond to climate change. Readings,lectures, and discussions will focus on how culture is expressed through the interplay of processes and practices in specific economic, social and political contexts.
