This seminar course intends to offer a survey of major environmental problems in
the 20th century, while tracing the growth of environmental awareness and
environmentalism worldwide.
It will highlight the relationship between the environmental degradation and
technological and industrial development, and the threat to the environment and
public health by big businesses.
The course will especially focus on two major events: the issues and debates
surrounding the Minamata in Japan and Rachel Carson窶冱 Silent Spring (1962) in the
US as well as the problem of global warming.
The course hopes to raise students awareness of growing environmental problems
associated with science and technology
