This seminar introduces students to the concepts of Political Ecology from a geographical perspective. We will explore current debates, key conceptual approaches, regional differences, and examine recent research, with a focus on the theoretical and methodological orientations that set political ecology apart from other critical approaches to the environment. Students are expected to read, analyse, and discuss a range of publications, as well as to provide their own perspectives and inputs, in order to stimulate debate. The seminar can vary in content and form every year, and may have a non-conventional character, depending on the participants.

A good command of English is necessary in order to succeed.

It is highly recommended to have completed the Seminar in Social Theories (SGG.00484) before taking this course.
