课程介绍：
Environmental and resource sociology is the study of relationships between societies and their biophysical environments from a sociological perspective. Environmental sociologists study the way social structures and processes change the environment, and the way changes in the environment shape social structures. Programs in environmental and resource sociology, which remain limited in number, feature sociological contributions to the broader interdisciplinary agenda in environmental science. Students wishing to pursue careers in environmental sociology find jobs in academia, state agencies, local public lands management agencies, and environmental organizations. The Environment and Resource Sociology (ERS) program at the University of Florida links strengths in substantive and methodological specialties in sociology to the broader endeavor of better understanding environmental change in a way that benefits both societies and ecosystems. To this end, ERS program faculty highlight sociological contributions to a wide range of topics, including the study of development, institutions, social movements, demography, and social inequalities. In addition, ERS program faculty focus on key topical areas within environmental studies such as natural resource use, infrastructure impacts, standards setting for resource commodities, environmental pollution, and public health. The ERS program at UF incorporates ties between the Department of Sociology to other units around the university which also provide training and offer courses to support environmental research. UF includes strong area studies programs with an environmental focus, as well as interdisciplinary environmental science programs, and includes both colleges of agriculture and medicine. ERS students at UF therefore have opportunities for exposure to perspectives and skills offered by a variety of disciplines and interdisciplinary programs.
