Seminar
China - an Environmental History
Ines Eben von Racknitz
Kommentar
In recent years, the world's attention has turned towards China's environmental challenges. Rapid urbanization, industrial expansion, and intensive agriculture led to air and water pollution, deforestation, and habitat destruction on a massive scale. This exacerbated ecological imbalances, threatened public health, and spurred political environmental movements. While these issues are usually associated with China's post-1979 economic boom, it is often overlooked that China's environmental history is deeply rooted in its rich cultural heritage and millennia-old civilizations.
In this class, we will investigate key topics and historical events in Chinese environmental history over the last 3000 years. Topics will include "Man and Nature in Chinese Philosophy," "Animals in Chinese Environmental History," "Natural Disasters and Their Impact," "Water Control and Management," "Epidemics and Empires: Environmental Factors in Chinese History," and "Environmentalism and Globalization." Requirements are regular attendance of the class, one oral presentation and participation in the class discussions.
