Course design and learning outcomes
Part 1: Understanding sustainability and collapse
The questions we consider at the beginning of our course provide the foundation for our study of collapse and sustainability now and in the past. These questions include: What is sustainability? Sustainability of what, for whom? What is at stake? What is collapse? What factors/conditions contribute to sustainability and collapse?

Part 2: Applying the comparative method to investigate the "initial conditions" of collapse and sustainability
In this section of the course we investigate archaeologically-known peoples for insights about sustainability and collapse. These case studies will inform your understanding of collapse and sustainability and the capacity of the past to inform the present.
