University Professors Stop by "U.S. Environmental History"
Joni Seager, a geographer and professor at Bentley University and Cynthia Enloe, professor at Clark University, stopped by Rachel Hirsch's "U.S. Environmental History" course last week. By looking at the U.S.'s development of spaces and places that are "away" and people that are "other" (with a specific emphasis on the U.S.'s continuing colonization of Pacific island nations), they examined how the U.S. was able to do the "dirty" work that allowed for the growth of an economic and military power on the world stage. Wanton use of resources and endangerment of people and property that would be unacceptable in the eyes of most Americans was able to thrive when it took place outside of the peripheral vision of enfranchised U.S. citizens.
