Rooted in Place: History, Biodiversity, and Environment in Southeast Asia — FULL
Please note: This study tour is now full.
Singapore has developed, during the modern period, in relation to its location. It had something to offer colonial powers because of its particular location. What it had to offer varied according to the colonizer and the historical period.
Biodiversity and conservation were often overlooked in Singapore in favor of rapid urbanization. Presently, in the context of the modern environmental movement, biodiversity has come to play a very different role in the region’s developmental process. This course will look at the historical progression of these changes over time. Naturally, cultural attitudes concerning the relationship between humans and the environment will be examined as well.
