ENVS 29902 - Queer Ecologies

Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0

QUEER ECOLOGIES In this course, the frame of queer ecology will serve as an invitation to ponder the multitudinous relations an organism might have to its environment. Our explorations will be largely informed by theoretical texts (including, but not limited to, those concerned with ecofeminism, environmental justice, queer theory, feminist materialism, ecosexuality and posthumanism) accompanied by outdoor exploration, literature (including Vi Ki Nao and Octavia Butler) and visual art (including The Institute for Queer Ecology, Zheng Bo and Rian Hammond). Students will be required to produce formal and informal writing, as well as at least one creative project in any medium.
