Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Texas State University/Society and Environment Section 001 (Fall 2020)

Section 001. This course explores the historical foundations of environmental sociology, engages the theoretical ideas debated within environmental sociology, and addresses the empirical dimensions of contemporary environmental problems. I am interested in engaging students in revising existing socio-environmental wiki pages using 5 peer-reviewed sources. I would like students to work in pairs.
