GERM 340 - Grünes Deutschland: Environmentalism in Germany

This course provides an overview of environmentalist ideas in the German-speaking world. We look at “green waves” in history and culture, exploring the links between environmental and other social movements as well as the interconnections between environmental concerns, technological developments, and politics. Students discuss both culture-specific aspects of Germany’s environmentalist path and transnational developments such as the influence of EU policies and how they compare to approaches in the US. Conducted in German. GERM 201 and another Germ 200-level course are highly recommended prior to this course.
