JUST 300B - Climate Justice

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Justice Studies

Description:

This course explores the links between ethics and climate justice, with an emphasis on the intersectionality of the climate crisis and power that shape inequality, resistance, and strategies for social transformation. The course emphasizes how marginalized communities, women, the disabled and people of color, are hit the hardest by climate change, but they are also leaders of resistance against interlocking systems of oppressions at the root of the crisis. Through readings, class discussions, documentary films, and research projects, we'll debate the meanings of climate justice, while studying the people's environmental movements in the Global South; ecofeminism; queer perspectives on environmental justice; sustainable agriculture and redistribution of global resources; and the effects of globalization and militarism on nature.
