HIST 430 - Environmental History of the Middle East and North AfricaFC SSCI CD WADV 4 credits In this colloquium, we will explore how societies in the Middle East and North Africa have shaped and been shaped by the natural environment, from the early modern era to the present. We will investigate the seismic changes in environment and society brought about by empire, nation-state formation, capitalism, and war. By viewing environmental history from the perspective of MENA communities, we will consider urgent questions about the agency of nature, urban environments, environmental orientalism, political ecology, and the climate crisis.
