This course explores the links between violent conflict and socioeconomic development. It focuses on micro-level

processes leading to conflict, and how conflict and political violence affect people's lives at the household and

community levels. It also examines how these processes are linked to wider political and economic issues including

governance and the role of institutions. Tools from economic theory are applied alongside country-specific and cross-

country empirical evidence. Prerequisite: ECO200Y1/ECO204Y1/ECO206Y1, ECO220Y1/ECO227Y1/(STA220H1,STA255H1)/(STA257H1,STA261H1)

We have never offered a course in the economics of conflict, hence it broadens the department’s course offerings. We anticipate that it will appeal to a broad array of students – not just within economics, but outside economics as well. It is a third year elective course. It draws on research from a number of fields beyond economics – including political science and peace and conflict studies. It also offers a unique experience for students who spend the term working on a group project that involves both empirical work and research on the relevant literature.

Special Topics in the Environment: Is the Internet Green?

This special topics course will examine a range of issues related to the environment and the digital world, with a broad focus on the social and environmental impacts of the internet. It is the first of two new Special Topics courses on the Environment and the Digital World.

The Internet is growing at an exponential rate. Most assume its “green” as the internet replaces paper. But is the internet “green”? We will evaluate the seldom discussed issues of the environment and social impacts of the internet from the resources and energy the internet consumes to the huge pile of e-waste produced. We also assume that great benefits accrue from the internet. But are these benefits equally distributed in society? We will evaluate the inequitably distributed benefits and costs of the internet.

This generation of students, who have been raised in an electronically connected era, as well as all of us, need to understand the hidden current and mounting future costs of the Internet.

Social and environmental impacts of the internet will be examined using analytical skills such as lifecycle assessment and socio-economics techniques for analyzing inequality, resource implications, waste generation, and changing social relationships, etc. Students will critically evaluate the pros and the cons of the internet as it exists today.

Special Topics in the Environment: Social Media and Environmentalism

This special topics course will examine a range of issues related to the environment and the digital world, with a broad focus on the impacts of social media on environmental thinking and policy-making. It is the second of two new Special Topics courses on the Environment and the Digital World.

Contemporary experience of environmentalist thought is increasingly mediated through internet technologies. The dynamics of how people engage with social media often determine how they learn about topics such as climate change, environmental policy, and the nature of protest movements. At the same time, the power of governments and corporations to conduct mass surveillance can have a chilling effect on those who express dissent over social, economic and environmental policy. The current generation of students have grown up with social media, but often lack the critical thinking skills needed to explore its broader consequences, especially in the face of grand societal and environmental challenges. The aim of the course is to engage students in the School of Environment in critical thinking about the impacts and ethics of social media, and the ways in which it is used to foster or stifle social change. This course examines the impacts of social media on environmental thinking and policy-making. Topics include the use of social media as a tool for community-building and collaborative design, the sharing economy, online protest movements, mass surveillance and its implications, and the impact of misinformation on climate denialism.

Special Topics in the Environment: Big Ideas in Energy – Economics, Politics and Security

This special topics course will examine a range of issues related to energy and the environment, with a broad focus on economics, politics and security. It is the second of two new Special Topics courses on the Environment and Energy.

The pursuit of energy has fundamentally shaped human civilization. It has led to great progress, but it could also profoundly change our environment. This course will focus on the central ideas in economics, politics and security that are essential to understanding today’s complex energy and environmental decisions.

The interdisciplinary nature of energy issues calls for a ‘big ideas’ approach to both energy teaching and research. This course will begin by suggesting 10 ‘big ideas’ that are fundamental to understanding energy issues and that will form a thematic framework for course material. The course will then cover energy markets – their successes and failures, and outline basic remedies for the latter. It will discuss how energy security has shaped world politics in the 20th and 21st centuries. It will then proceed to a discussion of regulatory institutions, their design, efficiency and efficacy. The importance of resources and energy in shaping Canada’s past, present and future will also be discussed. Whatever the specialization of the student, this course will seek to instill a search for connections with other disciplines, and the development of a broad perspective for understanding energy issues.
