ST- Rethinking US Env Policy Semester: Spring Year: 2019 Subject Name: Geography Course Number: 497R Institution: UMass Amherst This course examines the ways US lands, waters and resources are organized by policies and law, how this has changed over time, and why. We examine underlying structures of law and policy that are often taken for granted. We uncover the political-economic origins of key policies, and trace their long-term social and environmental effects. A key goal is creative and critical comparison: thinking about different ways land, waters, resources and policy have been or might be organized, how and why this changed or might change, and the consequences for the environment and people. The course provides a strong conceptual introduction to political economy of the environment and political conflict over the environment. Comments: Recommended: one course in geography, environmental policy, natural resources management, legal studies, or political economy. Instructor Permission: Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
