- Capitalism, Nature Development
Concerns about the environment and “local” needs appear central in diverse disciplinary, discursive and organizational realms across the globe. This reading-intensive interdisciplinary seminar will explore the complex and contradictory connections between economic development, the environment, and the needs of “local” peoples. The following questions will frame the seminar discussions: (1) how, why and when did concerns about the “global” environment get linked to economic development? (2) how are “local” peoples shaped by, and shape, these interactions? (3) How do the interconnected discourses of environment and development reconfigure or reinforce existing power relations (especially those that are “raced” and “gendered”)? Open to undergraduate students with permission only. Ms. Asher/Offered periodically
