A 5 6 pages double-spaced essay
Essays should focus on a specific environmental problem, and clearly discuss how a political ecology framework understands that problem and proposes solutions to it, and how that is different from  other  common  frameworks  to  understand  and  propose  solutions  for  that  problem. Students can select any environmental problem, and any competing frameworks to discuss alongside political  ecology. Papers can cite  readings from the  class, but  must also cite additional  academic materials  (e.g.  journal  articles  and  academic  book  chapters)  identified  independently. At  least  five academic references are required.Additional references (journalistic sources, etc.) can also be included.
