PCE 330 - Collapse (4 Cr.)


This course explores the epochal crisis of unsustainable resource consumption and the conflicts and systems collapses it causes. We will study collapse in the historical past, the present and in the near future. We will examine the ways in which basic resources such as water, energy, seed, food crops, timber, among others become scarce, how political actors respond to scarcity, and the social impact of scarcity. Our goal is to find realistic alternatives to over-consumption and collapse. Prerequisites: a 100-level course in Peace Studies and junior standing. Spring 2017. Dawit.
