This course helps students to build a critical and practical understanding of qualitative environmental research in order to understand these relationships and their dynamics, that underlie environmental problems and their solutions. We explore three interrelated dimensions of research: theoretical foundations of social scientific research on environmental problems, specific methods available to researchers for data collection and analysis, and the application and practice of research methods. In addition to exploring the key elements of environmental research design, we will consider some basic social science data collection protocols for conducting environmental field research, including but not limited to questionnaires, in-depth interviews, ethnography, community-based research approaches, document and content analyses. Questions of research justice will animate seminars, readings, exercises and assignments.
