As debates about the climate crisis and the environment are omnipresent today, this course discusses the importance of understanding the environment as deeply connected to social justice and human rights. It introduces foundational debates on analyzing the environment as intrinsic to our existence, as well as mediated by social structures. Therefore, discussion of the environment requires us to unpack it as a given, but as accessed through relations of power such as gender, race, indigeneity and colonization.
