Overview
Prof. Dr. Philippe C. Forêt has taught graduate seminars on the transition from knowledge to action, on the Anthropocene, and in environmental history. His students have explored with him the changing relationship between environment and society: ambiguity, conflicts, solutions, power relations, individual attitudes, public policy, the management of resources, and the distribution of costs and benefits.
Highlighting concepts that are embedded in a narrative (“story”) and a landscape (“stage”) have helped students acquire an empirical understanding of the current debates on nature and culture (“decision theaters”). His seminars have also reviewed how external experts and organizations have approached local communities and environmental issues. A graduate from the University of Chicago, Philippe Forêt holds from Bard College a certificate in experiential learning.
