HIST 236 - U.S. Environmental History
U.S. Environmental History focuses on the relationship between people and “nature” in North America from 1500 to today. It explores cultural differences regarding how humans should relate to “nature” as well as conflicts that have often resulted from such differences, the environmental consequences of North America’s incorporation into global markets, industrialization and urbanization, the rise of conservation and environmental movements, environmental racism, and the relationship between the rise of the US and its outsized global environmental footprint.
