EXAM SUM 4016 2005

Please write an essay of about 8-10 pages answering one of the following questions. Your answer should be delivered to the reception desk at SUM Wednesday May 18 before 12:00. Good luck.

1. Use the approach from Christine Macy and Sarah Bonnemaison’s Architecture and Nature (2003) to write a historical analysis of an environmental debate you find interesting. Make sure to include both primary and secondary sources in your discussion.

2. Write a thorough book review of Christine Macy and Sarah Bonnemaison’s Architecture and Nature (2003). Imagine that you are to submit the review for publication in one of the following academic journals: Environmental History, Metascience, or Journal of Architecture. They are geared respectively towards historians of the environment, philosophers of science, and architects. They all welcome a rich body of footnotes and references. Please indicate on the top of your exam which journal you have chosen for your book review.

3. Ramachandra Guha writes in Environmentalism: A Global History (1999) that “environmentalism must be viewed as a social program” (p. 3) and that it is “by now a genuinely international movement, occurring with lesser or greater intensity in a variety of countries around the globe” (p. 2). Explain his thesis about the origins of the modern environmental movement, and discuss to what extent this can be seen as one movement. You may bring in a rich body of relevant literature, sources, and examples in your analysis.
