Critical Environmental Studies addresses the interconnected geographies of injustice, inequality, gender, race and environment. The course will focus on the political ecologies of climate, urban environments, agriculture, extractive industries and more. Situated within the legacies of colonial capitalism, students will examine the impacts of climate change, extractivism, consumption and development at a global and community scale. Critical theories of nature and society will be used to analyse global environmental movements, environmental justice, activism, UN Sustainability Goals, and climate reparations in the context of social justice. The course will move from an analysis of particular sites of environmental injustice to movements against the impacts of the systemic exploitation of nature and society.
