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.
