SGG.00477: Political Ecology [SS 22]

This seminar introduces students to the field of Political Ecology from a geographical perspective.

We will explore current debates, key conceptual approaches, regional differences, and examine recent developments in research. We will focus on the theoretical and methodological orientations that set political ecology apart from other critical approaches to studying environmental problems and how they are addressed. Students are expected to read, analyse, and discuss key texts in political ecology, as well as to actively participate in seminar discussions.

This seminar is designed for MSc students in Geography. A good command of English is necessary in order to succeed. It is highly recommended to have completed the Seminar in Social Theories (GG.0484) before taking this seminar.
