CORE 003 SC - Landscapes of Plunder

Plunder refers to systematic and coercive or violent theft of property, or to the fruits of such an act. This course uses interdisciplinary frameworks to ask: How does and analytical lens of plunder help us understand landscape in different ways? How do such relationships and histories endure and why does it matter? Through consideration of concepts including racial capitalism, extractivism, and decolonial ecologies, students will gain a critical understanding of how power operates through landscape in sites such as museums gardens, and universities, and build from course concepts to create an oppositional landscape history of their own choosing.
