In this class we will uncover the many ways in which human societies are inextricable from the world’s oceans and address themes such as scientific uncertainty, environmental racism, immigration, colonialism and urban sustainability. Walruses, anchovies, artisanal fishers, coastal cities and factories will all lie at the center of weekly discussions. Crosslisted as ENST 237.
