Instructor: John Hultgren
Days & Time: MO,TH 10:00am-11:50am
Credits: 4

This course will explore this tension in three parts. First, we will engage with a variety of theoretical and conceptual debates introduced by scholars of global environmental politics — a heterodox field that draws insights from international relations theory, international political economy, ecological economics, and environmental sociology (among others).
