ENV 222?: Environmental Controversy (Interdisciplinary Study) Spring 2013

Through lecture, field experiences, guest presentations and group projects, students will explore the complexity within a number of key environmental controversies, exploring its scientific, social, cultural, ethical, legal and personal contexts. These socio scientific issues can be described as, ?ill defined, multidisciplinary, value laden, and constrained by missing knowledge? as opposed to more traditional issues that are based on approaches using disciplinary knowledge, are objectively oriented, engage the ?right? procedures, and often result in a single right/wrong answer. SSI is also a pedagogical strategy with clearly defined goals: it aims to stimulate and promote individual intellectual development in morality and ethics, as well as awareness of the interdependence between science and society.

Prerequisite: two of the following: GEOG 102 or REM 100; and EVSC 100 or GEOG 111. Students who have received credit for ENV 399 (Environmental Controversy) cannot receive credit for ENV 222.
