Tutorial One
As we will be emphasising this week, political ecology is less a coherent theory than an
approach utilised by different actors and researchers. According to Robbins it is something
you do. This begs the question who are political ecologists? Who is it that does political
ecology? And of course who are we in this course? In this light this weeks tutorial will
revolve around both introducing each other and introducing the blogs of different political
ecology practitioners/groups.
Exercise 1: Icebreaker
Exercise 2: Watch and comment on a half hour segments of the Movie Darwins Nightmare
(if you are interested please watch the rest at home). Besides the movies content, which we
will discuss in the session, this section shows us that it is not only academics who do
political ecology.
If you have an internet connection please have a quick look over and we can discuss these in
class before you leave.
