to explore, and which you have already been doing literature reviews on. The goal of these
papers is to investigate and critically explore an environmental health issue/conflict/debate
that showcases the political, economic, and environmental dimensions of the selected
environmental health topic. You should incorporate course readings to help frame your
interpretation and/or discussion, and your papers should be heavily based on the peer-
reviewed articles/books/reports you found as a result of your literature review
assignments. These final papers are to be roughly12 pages in length (not including your
bibliography), in 12 point font, and double spaced. Here is the basic outline you should
follow:1) (1 page) Introduction; what is interesting and/or significant about this
environmental health conflict.2) (4 pages) History of the environmental health
issue/conflict/dispute. What has been the involvement of different government agencies
and/or advocacy groups in making the issue a “public” health debate; what are the
differences and/or similarities in values and perspective between the different agencies and
organizationsinvolved in the issue. This is the section where you will likely draw on your
literature review assignments to flesh out research being done on the topic.3) (4 pages)
Discuss and critically evaluate the topic in relation to the perspectives/theories/ideas from
course readings; how does the environmental health debate you chose speak to
issues/concepts raised in the class (e.g., environmental justice, politics of science, etc.).
Finally, what about your topic exposes the value of the “political ecology of health”
perspective?4) (3 pages) Conclusion. Explain what your paper aimed to accomplish and
what areas of research you think are needed to highlight the “anthropological” dimensions
(the human/social dimensions) of the debate in focus. In your view, what is the value of
blending anthropology and environmental health sciences for your selected topic?5)
Bibliography. EVERYONE should use the citation style used in anthropology. This citation
style is clearly explained in the following
