​​This course examines geographies of social relations, focusing on how we imagine nature and our relationship to it. This course is designed for first and second year students to use the themes of environment and social justice as an introduction to human geography. Environmental justice is a movement that seeks to broaden social assumptions about what the environment is and who can be an environmentalist. We’ll follow the broader contours of this to rethink questions of geography and justice in three arenas: where we live, where we work and where we play.
