WS 311
Women & Enviro In Justice
This interdisciplinary course examines the history and contemporary politics of
environmental racism from different feminist perspectives. We consider the
disproportionate environmental burdens faced by women and Indigenous
communities locally and globally, and their leading role in the struggle for
environmental justice. How and why are environmental issues experienced
differently according to race, gender and class? How have different communities responded to environmental injustices? How is environmental justice related to reproductive justice, social justice, and justice for Indigenous peoples?
Prerequisites: Registration status: must be a senior student.
Exclusions: WS301J.
