The course consists of lectures, reading assignments that are collectively discussed, and an online meeting with guest experts. Lectures will offer introductions on paleoclimatology. Reading assignments discuss several topics: the impact of climate change on agriculture and the link with epidemics; the Little ice Age in Europe and China; the role of climate change in the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. Reading assignments on each of the topics cover the arguments and methodologies in recent debates. Reading assignments are discussed during online and on campus meetings. All reading material will be provided on Canvas.
Students prepare for the discussion of the reading material through assignments. These are not evaluated, but serve to prepare for the discussions. Students prepare for a meeting with one of the guest experts, either individually or in small groups (depending on the number of participating students). Students will be assigned to one of the speakers before the meeting.
