Explore human-environment relationships, their historical and cultural contexts, and the political and economic factors affecting them.
The MSc in Culture, Justice and Environment offers a critical and qualitative understanding of human-environment relationships, how they are imagined in different historical and cultural settings, and the political and economic processes impacting them.
Drawing on analytical approaches and insights from anthropology, the social sciences and the humanities more generally, we consider how and why people’s relationship with their landscapes have transformed, how they experience and deal with environmental change, how they address new ecological and climate crises, and how this links to issues of inequality and justice.
The core components of the programme draw on a range of cross-cultural studies to examine how nature and the environment are shaped by social, political, and economic processes and institutions including colonisation and enclosure, extraction and accumulation, governance and control, ownership and property regimes. We'll explore the effects of agrarian change and industrialisation, urbanisation and conservation, energy production and consumption, pollution and waste. Students will gain a deep understanding of how anthropological theorising of these issues has changed over time, and how the discipline provides unique methodologies for addressing environmental and climatic problems of today.
Teaching on the programme takes a collaborative and dialogic approach with an aim to think creatively about possible solutions in conversation with cognate disciplines such as geography, political ecology, international development, international history, philosophy and the environmental humanities more broadly.
We offer needs-based awards for our master’s programmes, including the Graduate Support Scheme and LSE Excellence Scholarship. Please check the specific details, requirements and restrictions on scholarship availability on our website.
