| Learn how roads, pipelines, walls, dams, and other infrastructures are the literal frameworks that underpin our everyday lives. Just as infrastructures transform ecosystems, livelihoods, and landscapes, they also generate new experiences of nature, work, and connection to place. Use the perspective of applied environmental anthropology to understand relationships between human environments, infrastructures, and design frameworks. Examine the impacts of infrastructures on cultural and natural resources, and how impact assessment and human-centered design mitigate such impacts, responding to diverse community needs. |
