Many Americans are cognizant of the ways in which race and class norms are socially constructed and evolving, but gender norms and nature ideas have better resisted this type of popular scrutiny. Two possible explanations for this discrepancy are that environmental concepts have been used to reinforce the supposedly natural distinctions between women's and men's abilities and roles, and that gender norms have helped validate the belief that nature is a pure and fixed entity. This class will explore the evolving relationship between gender and environmental ideas, practices, and policies from pre-colonial America to the present. We will pay particular attention to how gender and environmental norms have intersected with other structures of power such as race, class, age, and sexuality.

The course will examine some of the important individuals and events which have signif icantly shaped, reshaped, and challenged these world views. In this process, revolutions in thought and society, encounters between peoples and cultures, and perspectives on "us'' and "them'' will constitute major objects of study.
