FWS: Environmental Justice for Whom? Stories in Sex and Gender

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2021-2022.

How are environmental toxins distributed across landscapes of social hierarchy such as gender, race, indigeneity, and class? How might projects of environmental justice ameliorate or exacerbate these social hierarchies? This course acquaints students with key debates in environmental studies from a feminist decolonial perspective. Topics will include corporate mining, ecofeminist activism, sustainable development, and food systems. Beginning with the axiom that "writing is thinking", students in this course will conceptualize gender and sex as forms of power which work in and through ecosystems, economies, environmental governance systems, bodies, and science itself. In this subject driven writer's workshop, students will draw on course material to produce a robust and thoughtful portfolio of analytic writing.
