Political ecology syllabus for postgraduates

A political ecology syllabus for postgraduates, based on courses offered during ENTITLE, is now freely available online. The syllabus has been designed for a taught course or for self-study. 

The ENTITLE Project coordinated by ICTA-UAB has launched a postgraduate syllabus which is the product of training events in political ecology, specifically summer schools and Special Intensive Courses (SIC).

Throughout 2012-2016, ENTITLE offered six SICs (in Manchester, Barcelona, Rome and Berlin) and three summer schools (in Syros, Lund and Istanbul), with a duration that varied between four and six days per event. Lectures and public events during those courses were recorded, and together with other audio-visual material generated by the project are freely available at the project’s website (Entitle TV) and at the project’s YouTube channel.

The syllabus is of twelve weeks’ duration, designed to adapt to both the needs of a taught course and for self-study. It includes teaching instructions and accompanying bibliography, combined with the above audio-visual material. You will find, for example, lectures by Maria Kaika, Gavin Bridge, Amita Baviskar, Giorgos Kallis, Alex Loftus, Massimo De Angelis and Thomas Perreault. It also includes an Annex with the expanded reading list in political ecology, put together by Prof Julian Bloomer with contributions from members of the PESO (Political Ecology Society) email list.
