HISC 152 Critical Ecologies: Thinking, Practice, Change

As the environmental crisis deepens in vastly unequal ways across the planet, people and societies are compelled to prevent the collapse of living environments by becoming more ecological. This course explores how ecological notions deploy across different terrains of thinking and practice, changing how we conceive the place of humans in the world. The focus is on more than human interdisciplinary approaches that question dominant environmental relations, de-center the traditional place assigned to humans as the highpoint of nature, and seek for more caring ways of living with non-humans.
