Kenneth Worthy

Kenneth Worthy is a researching lecturer with interests in human-environment relationships over history and across cultures that help to better understand the origins of modernity's global environmental crisis, with the goal of a healthier, more sustainable, and livable world. He uses interdisciplinary elements in his course ESPM 50AC: “Introduction to Culture and Natural Resource Management” to explore how the health of the environments that we depend on are connected to natural resource management, which in turn arise out of historically and culturally specific relationships between humans and nature.  The creative project utilizes a form of media to present the student’s research on a topic addressing a course-related theme in the United States or in an area of U.S. imperial influence and how natural resources intersect with race, culture, gender, or class.
