Geography 321 - Gender,Justice,and Environmental Change

Institution:

Colgate University

Subject:

Description:

M. Hays-Mitchell This course explores the ways in which physical and social environments shape, and are shaped by, the roles of women and men in society. Because most geographical literature emphasizes men's activities and perceptions, emphasis is on the ways in which incorporation of women's perspectives and activities can significantly alter, augment, and advance the understandings of the complex, yet fundamental, relationship between human activities and the environment. Social and environmental processes that underlie the construction of gender and the life-worlds of women, men, and children in distinct geographical contexts are examined. Specific issues addressed include examination of the social construction of gender and of nature, ecological feminisms, and the gendered dimensions of development, the global economy, environmental justice, political space, and violence.
