Content

We will start out with basic questions which speak to the substance of this course: ecology and conflict and how the two are related to each other.

This preliminary session also serves to get ourselves acquainted and to make sure we are all on the same page in terms of what to expect from the course. We will review the basic tenets of the course, its background, its substantive and disciplinary focus, the organization or the course and housekeeping (ie. what is expected from you).
