ESST 244 Gender and the Environment
In the relationship between people and physical environments, not all peoples experience or impact environments in the same ways or suffer the consequences of environmental degradation to the same degree. This course examines how people in different places are affected by environmental change through the lens of gender. The theories and case studies covered are selected to encourage an understanding of how gender relations shape and are shaped by the physical environment, which informs gender-sensitive approaches that are crucial to addressing environmental problems now and in the future.
