Exploring the Natural World and Human Interaction
About ENVR 140
This course explores historical and cultural perspectives on human relationship with the natural world, from prehistory to present, and wrestles with the fundamental question: what is wilderness? The course traces the many ways wilderness has been conceived and perceived and investigates how humans have interacted with it. The course considers how this interaction has been influenced by class, race, and gender amongst other factors. It examines how political, cultural, and economic ramifications of these interactions and the future of wilderness and humanity.
