Description
Environmental Studies is an interdisciplinary inquiry; this concentration field aims at equipping students with a historical perspective on the environmental issues we face in the contemporary world. Understanding such global issues as climate change, food security, and sustainability requires a perspective that transcends the boundary of the nation state and the experience of modernity. This concentration field is designed for those who seek to dig deep in time and reach far beyond our comfort zone in space.
