The committee which oversaw development of the program was comprised of faculty from the departments of English, anthropology, geography and philosophy. “We had a diversity of disciplines represented at the table,” Stradling says. “We came up with a curriculum that represented the kind of diversity of the field and the diversity of approaches that one can take to studying the environment.”
Eduardo Martinez, UC philosophy professor on the committee, says he is excited about the role of philosophy in the environmental studies BA. “The hope is that environmental studies BA students will also be enriched by other parts of the philosophy curriculum,” he says. “Philosophy already is a discipline that’s rife with interdisciplinary opportunities, because it deals with such general conceptual content that overlaps with interests that people have in sociology and economics, physics and chemistry.”
Martinez teaches an environmental ethics course that focuses on the values, principles, arguments and theories behind environmental concerns. He says environmental ethics and philosophy can lead to many career opportunities, such as politics, working with an environmental activism nonprofit and/or environmental writing. These prospective careers would work for any environmental studies BA student, as well, due to the interdisciplinary nature of the program.
