    ARTS1240 – – Environment and Society
    Assessment 1 – – Essay 1 1
    Value: 35%
    Length: 1,500 words
    Due: 4pm, Friday 7 April @4pm (Week 6) 
    Environmental history provides an invaluable lens on our contemporary environmental
    crisis. Discuss with reference to one specific environmental issue.
    This question is concerned with the significance of historical perspectives to our understanding of
    environmental issues.
    To answer this question well you will need to say a little about the relevant field: environmental
    history (what is it? Where does it come from?). You will also need to introduce your chosen
    environmental issue (e.g. climate change, drought, extinction). Both of these things should be done
    very briefly. The bulk of your short essay should be focused on bringing these two topics together:
    How does an historical approach help us to understand this particular environmental issue more
    fully? Does it challenge dominant cultural assumptions? Does it ask us to develop new policies or
    approaches?
    You should try to provide specific examples and flesh them out. For example, you might argue that
    environmental history helps us to approach bushfires in a specific way: it presents us with possible
    practical lessons that have worked (or failed in the past), it challenges our assumptions about the
    landscape we live in and what kinds of settlement patterns are appropriate (e.g. the Griffiths
    reading in week 2).
    Of course, you’re also free to disagree with the proposition in the question: perhaps environmental
    history doesn’t offer an invaluable lens? Or perhaps it is helpful in some ways and not in others?
    Suggested Texts
    The sources below only offer a starting point for research. You are expected to go beyond them –
    and the set readings in this course – to find other interesting examples and arguments. In
    answering this question you will need to have a look at:
    1.) Some basic texts on what environmental history is, and how it might be helpful in
    understanding environmental issues. Some of these sources are listed below.
    2.) You will likely also need to consult a few basic sources on your chosen environmental issue(s):
    bushfire, climate change, etc.
    3.) Finally, you will want to try to find at least a few sources where people are applying history in a
    relevant way: a historian writing about bushfire (Tom Griffiths, Stephen Pyne), or about floods
    and water management (Heather Goodall, Emily O’Gorman), or biodiversity loss (Libby Robin,
    Peter Alagona). There are far too many relevant sources here for me to list them all. Instead,
    you will need to:
    a. Use relevant databases: try Google Scholar and the general resources listed here:
    http://subjectguides.library.unsw.edu.au/content.php?pid=25625&sid=371123. Use
    searches like: [“climate change” “environmental history”]
    b. Visit the websites of relevant academic journals and search through them for the
    particular environmental issue you are looking at. A few key journals are: Environmental
    History; Environment and History; Environmental Philosophy; Ethics and the
    Environment, Environmental Ethics. You might also try more general journals that will
    include some history and philosophy, but other things too: Environmental Humanities;
    Environment and Society; Conservation and Society (all available through the Library
    catalogue).
    c. Look at the slides from lectures 2 for some interesting examples and additional texts.

    Course Description  Environment and Society is a Level 1 course and is the gateway
    for the Environmental Humanities major – though it can also be
    taken as an elective. Its content is designed to lead you into
    Level 2 courses for Environmental Humanities.
    This course is concerned with the complex and problematic
    relationship between society and the environment. On one level,
    the nature of this relationship seems clear: humans damage the
    environment. Everywhere we look anthropogenic (or ‘human
    caused’)  environmental  problems  are  increasing:  From
    extinction, biodiversity loss and the seemingly never ending
    production  of  waste,  through  to  climate  change  and
    deforestation.
    This  course  introduces  students  to  these  and  other
    environmental issues, but it does so through a focus on the
    social and cultural dimensions of these issues. If indeed these
    problems are all caused by people, then any full understanding
    of our contemporary environment is only possible if we also
    consider human societies and their unique understandings of
    and ways of interacting with their environments.
    Through a range of case studies, the course introduces students
    to a diverse set of humanities and social sciences approaches to
    environmental issues. Together, these approaches make up the
    interdisciplinary field of Environmental Humanities. Drawing on
    philosophy,  history,  environmental  justice  theory  and
    anthropology we will explore some of the diverse ways in which
    people in different cultures and at different times have
    understood and interacted with the ‘more than human’ world. In
    the second half of the course, other approaches – like those of
    political ecology, eco-criticism and science and technology
    studies (STS) – will provide us with new tools for thinking
    critically about how contemporary environments are shaped and
    influenced by competing interests.
    Ultimately, the course introduces students to some of the
    underlying cultural, economic, and political systems that shape
    the ways in which diverse peoples understand, influence and live
    in the world.
    Through this exploration of different approaches to the
    environment, one of the primary goals of this course is to
    ARTS1240 Course Outline
    Page 3 of 15
    CRICOS Provider Code 00098G
    encourage a deep questioning of any simple distinction between
    ‘society’ and ‘the environment’. It is abundantly clear that in a
    range of different ways, all human communities are bound up
    with – influenced by, dependent on and impacting upon – the
    ‘natural’ world. In this context, what does it mean to divide the
    world up into ‘society’ and ‘the environment’, and might the
    mode of thinking captured in this distinction itself be a central
    part of our current ecological crisis?
    The ideas introduced in this course are developed in a sustained
    way throughout the rest of the Environmental Humanities major.

    5.  Learning and Teaching Rationale and Strategies
    This course asks students to engage with work that challenges foundational assumptions
    about contemporary environmental issues and the relationship between human societies and
    the environment more generally. The core objective of this course is to familiarise students
    with this material through lectures, in-depth tutorial discussions, independent research, and
    the preparation of assessment.
    This course places a strong emphasis on the development of critical analysis, reading, and
    discussion skills. The tutorials play a key role in the achievement of these learning
    outcomes, requiring students to carefully read and analyse material from a range of sources.
    In addition to tutorial participation, the assessment in the course is comprised of three key
    tasks. The first and second pieces of assessment are short essays. These essays are
    designed to push students’ understandings of relevant issues beyond a basic level. These
    essays will require students to conduct significant independent research that develops
    analytic concepts and themes that they have encountered in lectures and tutorials. In short,
    the essays will provide students with an opportunity to expand their knowledge beyond the
    material covered in the course and to critically evaluate key ideas and approaches.
    The final piece of assessment – the Environmental Futures Laboratory – has two key
    goals. Firstly, students are required to work together in groups and so to enhance these skills
    (along with time management). Secondly, this exercise requires students to connect the
    theories and issues discussed in the course with practical interventions and outcomes (in the
    form of a creative project and a group presentation).
    Taken together, these three major pieces of assessment will provide students with the
    necessary background and knowledge of contemporary environmental issues, while also
    encouraging critical reflection on this material and the ways in which it might be

    Grades
    All results are reviewed at the end of each semester and may be adjusted to ensure
    equitable marking across the School.
    The proportion of marks lying in each grading range is determined not by any formula or
    quota system, but by the way that students respond to assessment tasks and how well they
    meet the learning outcomes of the course. Nevertheless, since higher grades imply
    performance that is well above average, the number of distinctions and high distinctions
    awarded in a typical course is relatively small. At the other extreme, on average 6.1% of
    students do not meet minimum standards and a little more (8.6%) in first year courses. For
    more information on the grading categories see:

    Late Submission of Assignments
    Students are responsible for the submission of assessment tasks by the required dates and
    times. Depending of the extent of delay in the submission of an assessment task past the
    due date and time, one of the following late penalties will apply unless Special Consideration
    or a blanket extension due to a technical outage is granted. For the purpose of late penalty
    calculation, a ‘day’ is deemed to be each 24-hour period (or part thereof) past the stipulated
    deadline for submission.
      Work submitted less than 10 days after the stipulated deadline is subject to a
    deduction of 5% of the total awardable mark from the mark that would have been
    achieved if not for the penalty for every day past the stipulated deadline for
    submission. That is, a student who submits an assignment with a stipulated
    deadline of 4:00pm on 13 May 2016 at 4:10pm on 14 May 2016 will incur a
    deduction of 10%.
    Task with a non-percentage mark
    If the task is marked out of 25, then late submission will attract a penalty of a deduction of 1.25
    from the mark awarded to the student for every 24-hour period (or part thereof) past the stipulated
    deadline.
    Example: A student submits an essay 48 hours and 10 minutes after the stipulated deadline. The
    total possible mark for the essay is 25. The essay receives a mark of 17. The student’s mark is
    therefore 17 – [25 (0.05 x 3)] = 13.25.
    Task with a percentage mark
    If the task is marked out of 100%, then late submission will attract a penalty of a deduction of 5%
    from the mark awarded to the student for every 24-hour period (or part thereof) past the stipulated
    deadline.
    Example: A student submits an essay 48 hours and 10 minutes after the stipulated deadline. The
    essay is marked out of 100%. The essay receives a mark of 68. The student’s mark is therefore 68
    – 15 = 53
      Work submitted 10 to 19 days after the stipulated deadline will be assessed and
    feedback provided but a mark of zero will be recorded. If the work would have
    received a pass mark but for the lateness and the work is a compulsory course
    component (hurdle requirement), a student will be deemed to have met that
    requirement;
    ARTS1240 Course Outline
    Page 11 of 15
    CRICOS Provider Code 00098G
      Work submitted 20 or more days after the stipulated deadline will not be
    accepted for assessment and will receive no feedback, mark or grade. If the
    assessment task is a compulsory component of the course a student will receive
    an Unsatisfactory Fail (UF) grade as a result of unsatisfactory performance in
    essential component of the course.
    7.  Attendance and Absence
    The UNSW Policy on Class Attendance and Absence can be viewed at:
    https://student.unsw.edu.au/attendance
    The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences guidelines on attendance and absence can be
    viewed at:
    https://www.arts.unsw.edu.au/current-students/academic-information/protocols-guidelines/
    From time to time, the Course Authority may vary the attendance requirements of a course. It
    is the students’ responsibility to ensure that they are familiar with the specific attendance
    requirements stipulated in the course outline for each course in which they are enrolled.
    Students are expected to be regular and punctual in attendance at all classes in the courses
    in which they are enrolled. Students who seek to be excused from attendance or for absence
    must apply to the Course Authority in writing. In such situations, the following rules relating to
    attendances and absences apply.
    In this course, students must attend at least 80% of lectures (9 out of 11 lectures).
    Students must attend at least 80% of tutorials (9 out of 11 tutorials).
    A student who attends less than eighty per cent of the classes within a course may be
    refused final assessment. The final assessment in this course is identified under “Course
    Assessment”.
    In the case of illness or of absence for some other unavoidable cause students may be
    excused for non-attendance at classes for a period of not more than one month (i.e., 33%)
    or, on the recommendation of the Dean of the appropriate faculty, for a longer period.
    Explanations of absences from classes or requests for permission to be absent from
    forthcoming classes should be addressed to the Course Authority in writing and, where
    applicable, should be accompanied by appropriate documentation (e.g. medical certificate).
    After submitting appropriate supporting documentation to the Course Authority to explain
    his/her absence, a student may be required to undertake supplementary class(es) or task(s)
    as prescribed by the Course Authority. If examinations or other forms of assessment have
    been missed, then the student should apply for Special Consideration.
    Students who falsify their attendance or falsify attendance on behalf of another
    student will be dealt with under the Student Misconduct Policy.
    8.  Special Consideration for Illness or Misadventure
    Students can apply for Special Consideration if illness or misadventure interferes with their
    assessment performance or attendance.
    Applications are accepted in the following circumstances only:
      Where academic work has been hampered to a substantial degree by illness or other
    cause. Except in unusual circumstances, a problem involving only 3 consecutive days
    ARTS1240 Course Outline
    Page 12 of 15
    CRICOS Provider Code 00098G
    or a total of 5 days within the teaching period of a semester is not considered
    sufficient grounds for an application.
      The circumstances must be unexpected and beyond your control. Students are
    expected to give priority to their university study commitments, and any absence must
    clearly be for circumstances beyond your control. Work commitments are not
    normally considered a justification.
      An absence from an assessment activity held within class contact hours or from an
    examination must be supported by a medical certificate or other document that clearly
    indicates that you were unable to be present. A student absent from an examination,
    or who attends an examination and wants to request special consideration, is
    normally required to provide a medical certificate dated the same day as the
    examination.
      An application for Special Consideration must be provided within 3 working days of
    the assessment to which it refers. In exceptional circumstances an application may
    be accepted outside the 3-day limit.
    Students cannot claim consideration for conditions or circumstances that are the
    consequences of their own actions or inactions.
    Applications are normally not considered if:
      The condition or event is not related to performance or is considered to be not serious
      More than 3 days have elapsed since the assessment for which consideration is
    sought
      Any key information is missing
      Supporting documentation does not meet requirements
      The assessment task is worth less than 20% of the total course assessment, unless
    the student can provide a medical certificate that covers three consecutive days.
    Applications for Special Consideration must be made via Online Services in myUNSW. Log
    into myUNSW and go to My Student Profile tab > My Student Services channel > Online
    Services > Special Consideration.
    Applications on the grounds of illness must be filled in by a medical practitioner. Further
    information is available at: https://student.unsw.edu.au/guide
    If a student is granted an extension under Special Consideration, failure to meet the
    stipulated deadline will result in a penalty. The penalty will be invoked one minute past the
    approved extension time. See section “Late Submission of Assignments” for penalties of late
    submission.
    9.  Class Clash
    Students who are enrolled in an Arts and Social Sciences program (single or dual) and have
    an unavoidable timetable clash can apply for permissible timetable clash by completing an
    online application form. The online form can be found at:
    https://www.arts.unsw.edu.au/ttclash/index.php
    Students must meet the rules and conditions in order to apply for permissible clash. The
    rules and conditions can be accessed online in full at:
    https://www.arts.unsw.edu.au/media/FASSFile/Permissible_Clash_Rules.pdf
    ARTS1240 Course Outline
    Page 13 of 15
    CRICOS Provider Code 00098G
    Students who are enrolled in a non-Arts and Social Sciences program must seek advice from
    their home faculty on permissible clash approval.
    10.  Academic Honesty and Plagiarism
    Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s thoughts or work as your own. It can take many
    forms, from not having appropriate academic referencing to deliberate cheating.
    In many cases plagiarism is the result of inexperience about academic conventions. The
    University has resources and information to assist you to avoid plagiarism.
    The Learning Centre assists students with understanding academic integrity and how to not
    plagiarise. Information is available on their website: https://student.unsw.edu.au/plagiarism/.
    They also hold workshops and can help students one-on-one.
    If plagiarism is found in your work when you are in first year, your lecturer will offer you
    assistance to improve your academic skills. They may ask you to look at some online
    resources, attend the Learning Centre, or sometimes resubmit your work with the problem
    fixed. However, more serious instances in first year, such as stealing another student’s work
    or paying someone to do your work, may be investigated under the Student Misconduct
    Procedures.
    Repeated plagiarism (even in first year), plagiarism after first year, or serious instances, may
    also be investigated under the Student Misconduct Procedures. The penalties under the
    procedures can include a reduction in marks, failing a course or for the most serious matters
    (like plagiarism in an Honours thesis) or even suspension from the university. The Student
    Misconduct Procedures are available here:
    http://www.gs.unsw.edu.au/policy/documents/studentmisconductprocedures.pdf
    11.  Course Evaluation and Development
    Courses are periodically reviewed and students’ feedback is used to improve them.
    Feedback is gathered from students using myExperience. It is encouraged students
    complete their surveys by accessing the personalised web link via the Moodle course site.
    12.  Student Support
    The Learning Centre is available for individual consultation and workshops on academic
    skills. Find out more by visiting the Centre’s website at:

    13.  Grievances and Review of Assessment Results
    13.1 Grievances
    ARTS1240 Course Outline
    Page 14 of 15
    CRICOS Provider Code 00098G
    All students should be treated fairly in the course of their studies at UNSW. Students who
    feel they have not been dealt with fairly should, in the first instance, attempt to resolve any
    issues with their tutor or course convenor.
    If such an approach fails to resolve the matter, the School of Humanities and Languages has
    an academic member of staff who acts as a Grievance Officer for the School. This staff
    member is identified on the notice board in the School of Humanities and Languages. Further
    information about UNSW grievance procedures is available at:
    https://student.unsw.edu.au/guide
    13.2 Review of Assessment Results
    There is no automatic right to have an assessment reviewed, the Faculty reserves the right
    to make such judgements.
    In the first instance a student should seek an informal clarification, this should normally be
    done within two working days of the return of the assessed work.
    If the student is not satisfied with the informal process, they should complete the UNSW
    Review of Results Application form, which is available at: https://student.unsw.edu.au/results.
    An application must be lodged within 15 working days of receiving the result of the
    assessment task.
    Further information on review of student work in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences can
    be viewed at: https://www.arts.unsw.edu.au/current-students/academic-
