GSW 200 - Beyond Woman/Body/Nature: Ecofeminism, Systems Theories, and Social Activism

Course Units: 1

This course’s exploration of ecofeminism, systemic theories, and social justice activism and practices analyzes how paradigms and historical inequalities have devalued both ‘women’ and ‘nature,’ leading to the oppression and denigration of both. As a movement that draws linkages between environmental issues and intersectional feminist concerns, ecofeminism asserts that solutions to environmental problems require a feminist perspective, and contemporary feminist theory and practice require an environmental perspective.
