Description:

This course will explore selected topic(s) in the environmental histories of food systems, agriculture, land, and/or settler colonialism. The focus will be on the different approaches by which historians have understood how systems for producing and distributing critical subsistence resources (primarily food) have been created over time out of an interaction between human societies and the environment (focusing on land). What role has been played in this shaping by economic, political, and legal systems and human agents, and with what effects on society and the environment?
