Tree Politics

---

Examine the political ecology of trees; their use and abuse in history, and how these woody plants have shaped our world. In this historical survey, you'll gain a renewed perspective of the role that trees play in your everyday life as you and analyze how nations and movements have used woody species in politically-focused projects in the modern era (1600s and present). Themes and cases studies will include: trees as settlers and soldiers; trees as empire builders; trees as border makers and segregators; trees as commodities; and trees as diplomats and saviors.
