ES 219 - Qualitative Environmental Research (3 Cr.)

(formerly ES 225)
The research process encompasses a wide continuum, from the articulation of a research theme or question to the determination of how to collect data to considerations about what to “count” as evidence. This class focuses on the process of knowledge production within human-environment interactions through an in-depth engagement with qualitative research methods. We will examine the epistemological, methodological, and political implications of specific methods as well as learn and practice the techniques for conducting qualitative social-science research. Prerequisite: ES 140 or sophomore standing. Fall semester. Billo.
