FR 444 - Transnational Environmental Studies in French (4 Cr.)

(formerly FR 344) (GCR ENV)
This course is devoted to environmental issues important in France and Francophone countries but which clearly concern the whole world. We will explore current ecological issues such as global warming, the opening of the Northwest Passage, genetically modified organisms, nuclear energy, the relationship between human and non-human animals, alter-globalization, green party politics, etc., from a pluri-disciplinary perspective. These viewpoints may include politics, science, history, philosophy, demography, economics and geography, for example, expressed in media such as the press, the cinema, music, and literature. Prerequisite: FR 250  or permission of the instructor. Variable semesters.
