The course aims to delve into the diverse approaches to environmentalism that have emerged since the onset of the Anthropocene, a term used by scientists to describe the era of significant human impact on the Earth's geology and ecosystems. Covering a broad timeline from the 1720s to the early 2000s, it will pay special attention to the environmentalism of the working class. This focus will explore how their social standing and heightened vulnerability to environmental changes shed light on a unique form of environmentalism that intertwines social and ecological concerns.
