| Term: Spring Semester 2023 |
| Description: This course examines the gendered causes and consequences of climate change through a feminist and intersectional lens. Using empirical case studies, we will investigate how lived experience and knowledge of climate change is shaped by multiple axes of social identity (e.g., gender, race, sexuality, ethnicity, class) and interrogate how prevailing notions of 'masculinity' and 'femininity' influence climate mitigation and adaptation processes across a variety of locations, scales, and contexts. As we strive to uncover the epistemological roots of the discourses that frame gender and climate politics, we will also consider how alternative ways of being, knowing, and acting challenge and transform conventional approaches to climate science and policymaking. |
