Consumption, Health, and the Environment (SOCY 3322)

Sociology · Boston College

There are many health and environmental impacts associated with consumption activities, yet such impacts often remain hidden or obscured in the course of everyday life. In this applied course, students will examine health and environmental issues associated with consumption activities. Over the course of the semester, students will learn concepts from environmental health, environmental sociology, the sociology of consumption, and public policy. Each student will engage in an original preliminary research project on a contemporary issue related to consumption and environmental health. Students
