GEOG 80.07 Race, Space, and Nature

Ideas of racial difference are frequently advanced as “natural” truths about the world, linked to normative conceptions of environmental relations. Reciprocally, racism—as a set of deadly ideological and material practices articulated around purported group differences—has profoundly shaped conceptions of non-human nature. This course asks how race is inflected in the politics and practices through which humans interact with the “natural” world, and explores the implications for contemporary movements and mobilizations for environmental justice.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
