This course introduces students to environmental, economic, feminist and nationalist perspectives on population growth and decline. We examine current population trends and processes (fertility, mortality and migration) and consider the social, political, economic and environmental implications of those trends. The course also provides an overview of various sources of demographic data as well as basic demographic methods. Enrollment limited to 35. Prerequisite: SOC 101.
Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
