POLI 123 SC - Power, Justice, and the Environment
This course begins with the empirical premise that the planet is in an environmental crisis and recognizes the normative imperative to stop the ongoing catastrophe. We survey past and current formations of political organizing to combat the problems of environmental inequality including but not limited to climate change. How do politically engaged organizations and movements interrogate the social scientific evidence concerning environmental inequality and how do they combat it? How do they understand the political, social, economic, and environmental forces including but not limited to environmental racism that produce environmental inequalities, and how do they incorporate their analyses into their political campaigns? How do political movements seeking to transform environmental inequality incorporate theories of transformative social change that take into account multiple axes of difference and domination including but not limited to race, gender, class, and nationality?
