Environmental issues are of pressing international concern, cooperation, and conflict. As such, it is crucial that graduates in international relations are equipped with a knowledge of how environmental discourse operates in the context of global foreign relations and economy. This course introduces students to new ecocritical theories in international relations (or 鈥済reen IR鈥�) and applies these theories to professional and policy contexts in the contemporary global arena. The course features problem-based group assessments that require collaborative teamwork in the application of advanced knowledge to scenarios and professional presentations and reports. This course further develops students鈥� skills in analysis, creative problem-solving, and written and oral communication to a graduate-ready level.
