| Kommentar | This course introduces students to feminist environmentalism. We will analyse discourses and practices from diverse regional backgrounds concerning the role of gender in environmental politics. Ecofeminism is often confronted with the charge of essentialism – is this reading correct? What does Feminist Political Ecology contribute to the understanding of the current ecological crisis? Students will learn about critical perspectives on human-nature-relationships. |
