Description
The expanding nexus of society-environment relations and justice issues is becoming concentrated at the nexus with energy transitions. This intersection involves such nexus-influenced resource systems as land/food/biodiversity, water/climate change, urbanization, and environmental conservation. The seminar will focus on this intersection using a new generation of integrative “nexus approaches” that provide advances beyond technical FEWS frameworks. This focus will incorporate combined geographic and interdisciplinary perspectives. Graduate students and advanced undergrads are welcome to enroll in this seminar.
