History of Ecology and Environmentalism IDSEM­UG 1892 Fall 2016 Tuesday and Thursday, 3:30­4:45 Silver Center Room 407 NYU GALLATIN SCHOOL OF INDIVIDUALIZED STUDY History of Ecology and Environmentalism IDSEM­UG 1892 Fall 2016 Tuesday and Thursday, 3:30­4:45 Silver Center Room 407 Instructor: Prof. Peder Anker E­mail: [email protected] Office hours: Tuesdays, 9:30­11:30 Office: 1 Washington pl. room 425 Course Description This course traces the history of ecology and environmentalism from Charles Darwin to current affairs. The global history of ecological concern stays at the center of this course, which discusses environmental worries in the British, German, Scandinavian, African and American contexts in subsequent centuries. The chief focus will be on U.S. experience in trying to deal with organizing nature, environmental preservation and conservation, population growth, environmental design and global warming, among other issues. Various ecological understandings of human philosophy, race, gender, religion, architecture, politics, and economy will be subject to critical discussion. Papers and assignments There will be a 12 page midterm paper due October 13 and a 12 page final paper due December 15. Both papers must focus on at least one of the primary sources discussed in class. All students are expected to maintain the highest standard of academic integrity. Cheating and plagiarism are serious matters and will result in disciplinary action and course failure.

Exploring the role of Norwegian scholar-activists of the late twentieth century, Peder Anker examines how they portrayed their country as a place of environmental stability in a world filled with tension. In contrast with societies dirtied by the hot and cold wars of the twentieth century, Norway’s power, they argued, lay in the pristine, ideal natural environment of the periphery. Globally, a beautiful Norway came to be contrasted with a polluted world and fashioned as an ecological microcosm for the creation of a better global macro- cosm. In this innovative, interdisciplinary history, Anker explores the ways in which ecological concerns were imported via Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring in 1962, then to be exported from Norway back to the world at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.
