HUMA 330 Feminist and Queer Environmentalism

What does environmental crisis and issues like climate change, natural resource depletion, and pollution have to do with gender and sexuality? How does Nature function as a discourse that informs cultural understandings around gender and sexuality? Why are women on the frontlines of environmental justice movements? Drawing on research in environmental studies as well as gender and sexuality studies, this course provides a critical framework for addressing these questions and examining the linkages between gender, sexuality, and the environment. Students will be introduced to key debates and theoretical inquiry in feminist and queer ecologies.
