It is a 4 credit, upper-level class, with a maximum enrollment of approximately 30 students. This course uses an anthropological lens to examine topics such as population growth, globalization, how economic interests are creating increases in pollution, deforestation, water scarcity, urban sprawl, oil spills, and numerous other kinds of destructive environmental changes, but the instructor has flexibility to choose the specific areas of focus, readings, etc.

Additional classes may be offered, depending on enrollments, and so the ideal candidate would also be able to teach one or more of the following courses: Introduction to Anthropology (four field), and upper-level courses titled The African Experience in the Americas, Beyond Race: Understanding Human Variation, Human Genetics, Language and Society, and/or Doing Anthropology (an upper-level ethnographic methods course). Applicants should specify their experience teaching and/or researching in any of the applicable areas. Community engaged research and teaching and Academic Service Learning courses are also a plus.

All offered courses are subject to enrollment. A PhD degree in Anthropology is required in-hand by the start of classes. Prior experience teaching related courses strongly preferred. Candidates must be able to use the Canvas LMS.
