Topics course. This seminar introduces students to the major themes, debates and works in Latin American environmental history within the larger context of global environmental history and historiography. We trace the changing human-environment relationship over time from before the European conquest of the Americas to the present, the changing ways that historians have approached this issue, and how these historical and historiographical dynamics played out in different regions of Latin America, especially the Caribbean, Mexico and Brazil.
