UN3141: Humans, Nature and the Future: An Introduction to Environmental Political Theory | B. Mylius

Political Science
Undergraduate Lecture
MW 4:10-5:25PM

This course is about how we understand humans and their relationship to nature – and about how these understandings influence the ways we design our societies, run our democracies, and make plans for the future. It focuses on two central themes. First: how does introducing a concern for ‘the environment’ deepen, and often complicate, our understanding of key concepts in political theory? Second: given that ‘the environment’ is an interdisciplinary issue, how do we understand the relationship between the ideas and conversations we have in political theory, and the ideas and conversations people are having in other disciplines?
