- Topic: Feminist Environmentalisms
- Class Description:
- TOXIC TRESPASS From Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, which galvanized the modern U.S. Environmental movement, to the toxic waste protests of Love Canal that galvanized the environmental justice movement, significant scientific data and activist movement testifies to the prevalence of damaging toxins in our lands, water, air, and bodies. This course will examine the complex relationships between science, industry, government, and ecology that determine human and nonhuman chemical body burdens. Using feminist environmental theory, feminist science studies, and environmental justice theory, students will distinguish the kinds of biofears that can enhance socio-environmental health and resiliency from those that exacerbate conceptions of historically marginalized races, classes, genders, and species as ?toxic.? While not necessarily something to celebrate, tracing the material and ideological ?traffic in toxins? can illuminate pathways to more sustainable relations among humans and ecologies.
