An emphasis on the ways in which people have created, and attempted to solve, environmental problems in different cultural and historical contexts. Examines the roles of the entire spectrum of actors and human communities, including individuals, families, groups and formal organizations, neighborhoods, cities and nations.

This course will explore a range of current Minnesota environmental issues in the context of evolving public policy discourse and advocacy. A primary case study for this class will be the Mississippi River, one of the great rivers of the world, which flows just steps from campus. Through guest lectures, field trips, independent projects and readings we will meet and hear the perspectives of policy advocates, policy makers and ecologists about specific environmental issues they are engaged with in their roles. In addition to the issues themselves, we will investigate the matrix of actors; elected officials, federal, state, regional and local agencies, non-governmental organizations and individuals who influence and determine the actions and decisions that impact our environment. This course will include weekend field trips including exploring the Mississippi River by kayak. Prerequisites: One of any EES course (ENVR, ESCI, GEOG, GEOL) or BIO 102, or BIO 207 or BIO 209 or permission of instructor.
