PHIL-229 Eco-Feminism
Examines the political, social, and ecological problems facing us as a global community. Having its roots in feminist theory and deep-ecology, eco-feminism provides a critical framework for ecological responsibility and accountability. Writings from eco-feminist thinkers and environmental activists around the world will be used to highlight the philosophical and political conflicts and challenges, including the globalization and loss of bio-diversity, global warming, international human rights, the relationship of gender and nature, and modes of redress for eco-justice and sustainable development.
