History
Undergraduate Seminar
Th 10:10AM-12PM
The climate crisis is a defining feature of contemporary life. How did we get here? This course takes a historical approach to the question, exploring the multiple overlapping histories required to understand the present climate age. Themes and topics include: the expansion of fossil fuel capitalism; the history of climate science and climate denialism; the relationship between science and policy; the geopolitics of climate knowledge production; environmental diplomacy and climate justice; indigenous-led activist movements; and debates about geoengineering solutions versus structural changes to the energy system.
