[edit] Description from course catalog
- This course explores the environmental and social histories of six commodities: silver, tobacco, silk, coffee, sneakers, and microchips. Each represents a complex array of linkages among producers, consumers, and intermediaries over time and space. Readings draw upon history, ecology, and geography to place these commodities in their social, environmental, and spatial contexts, and understand the changing roles of natural systems and divisions of human labor that underlie the long-term processes of “globalization.” . Enrollment limit: 12.
