Environmental Justice and Literature (EARTHSYS 142J)

3 credits · Undergraduate

Who is most hurt by ongoing planetary ecocide and who benefits? How can humanities scholarship, literary texts, popular culture, and activist practices help us analyze environmental injustice, consider alternatives and participate in change-making? Together we will unpack the intersections of climate crisis, violent settler world-making, and systemic racial, gendered and class-based injustice.
