This class is an introductory course on the basic ideas of Global Environmental Studies. At first, we focus on global environmental issues by exemplifying climate change, natural resources, biodiversity, marine conservation, and alike. After that, we shed light on the relationship between humans and the environment, interrogate their mutual influence, and reflect about the basic ideas involved. Specifically, we will cover population growth, food issues, and energy issues. Finally, we illuminate environmental activities and policies (energy, etc.) in various social fields such as economy, civil society, and politics. This course approaches the field of global environment mainly from the perspective of social science but refers to various related fields as well. This course consists of introductory lectures, group work and discussions. The course is completed with a written exam at the end of the semester.
Although the field of Global Environmental Studies is rather diverse, the goal is to acquire and deepen basic knowledge. This course aims at understanding technical terms, basic ideas, institutions, activities and policies regarding the global environment. Group work, presentations and discussion on various topics of the global environment will be conducted.
The course will be completed with a final exam at the end of the course. In addition, regular attendance and active participation are taken into account during the course, too. The final exam (70%) and active participation (30%) will result jointly in the final grade. Depending on the progress, there may be changes to the course plan below.
