HIST152 CM - Ecology and Society in African History

Through the lens of the more-than-human history approach, this seminar interrogates African environmental history across pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial temporal spaces and generally employs categories of analysis, including class, race, ethnicity, and gender. The course will address multiple themes, including African and colonial ideas about landscape and natural resource utilization and conflicts, game hunting and wildlife conservation, disease ecologies, famine and starvation, food management and access, gender and the environment, the politics of climate change and struggles and negotiations for justice.
