GEO324: Geographies of the Green Transformation (co-taught with Mahir Yazar)

This is an interdisciplinary course on theory and research that fits under the broad umbrella of the green economy. Different methods, foci of interest, as well as epistemologies now are common in green economy research. Grounded on active student participation, this research-based course discusses how the concept of the green economy affects societal and economic activities at different scales. 

The majority of classes will consist of discussions around assigned readings. While this is not a methods class, students and professors will discuss methodologies appropriate to green economy research. Our goal is for the range of topics and our discussions throughout the semester to help you identify the kinds of research questions, methods, and analytic strategies pursued by a variety of interdisciplinary scholars which might be useful in your own work.
