Geology-Physics 221 - Global Ecology and Global Political Economy

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

This seminar addresses how processes of contemporary globalization shape and reshape the nature of ecological questions. What is entailed in the construction of an ecological perspective that is sensitive not only to the pressures on the Earth imposed by global capital accumulation, but also to the tradition of the oppressed in their everyday struggles for social justice? The course examines why social movements concerning women's issues, the environment, poor people and civil rights are increasingly seeing social and political ecology as fundamental to their long-term strategies, and compares the ways environmental questions have been raised in different geographical spaces of the world economy.
