Abstract

The course will be run as an intensive seminar: lectures and close reading of canonical texts will be complemented by discussions and smaller exercises. It will illustrate practical applications of theoretical concepts through case studies and offer students the option to apply course concepts in a service-learning project. It will guide students through the process of writing a seminar paper.

Objective

Upon completion of the seminar, students: - have reflected upon the complex and conflictual relations that govern access to and control over nature and natural resources - have critically assessed the existing debates on these topics and can apply them to case studies - have worked on the formulation of a consistent argument in their seminar paper - have practiced scholarly skills, such as scientific writing, presentations and debating in class.
