This
seminar introduces students to the concepts of Political Ecology from a
geographical perspective. We will explore current debates, key conceptual
approaches, regional differences, and examine recent research, with a focus on
the theoretical and methodological orientations that set political ecology
apart from other critical approaches to the environment. Students are expected
to read, analyse, and discuss a range of publications, as well as to provide
their own perspectives and inputs, in order to stimulate debate.
The seminar can vary in content and form every year, and may have a non-conventional character, depending on the participants.
