Annotation:
This course analyzes the political, social, and environmental history of Central and Eastern Europe from 1800 to 2000, focusing on major shifts in human-nature relationships and environmental knowledge transfer.
It incorporates critical contemporary themes such as the climate crisis, environmental justice, and the intersections of gender, race, and class in shaping environmental experiences.
Using historical analysis as a tool, the course connects past environmental transformations to present global challenges including pollution, social inequalities, and climate change impacts.
