This class examines the history and current state of the environment in China from the perspective of interacting environmental cultures and ethics of the state and various local communities. Class sessions are mostly lectures with some discussion and debate; student grades are based entirely on the paper assignments. There are four assigned paper topics, one each for units 2 through 5, due at 5:00 p.m on Mondays January 28, February 11, and February 25, and on Friday, March 14. You are required to turn in papers on three of the assignments, and your grade will be based entirely on the grades on the papers you turn in. Class readings are from the required texts at the University Bookstore, or from internet links accessible directly from this course web page.
