Environmental Studies Major
Environmental studies provides training in the interdisciplinary tools needed to investigate society’s relationships to the environment and critically develop responses to pressing challenges of our time. The environment is a major discourse and force in society. The causes and effects of ecological change are woven through social institutions, human cultures, and economic systems. Environmental change is a continuity for all living things dependent on the vital energies and assets of the biosphere. And yet, human and non-human social agents have vastly different responsibilities for environmental harms and the regulation of resource use. The changing structures of environmental inequalities and global risks are an essential topic of social scientific study, especially in an age of climate transformation.
