Class Notes:
Across las Américas Women of Color and Indigenous women have been at the forefront of the environmental justice movement. From the Mothers of East Los Angeles, a group of Mexican and Chicana women that demanded the elimination of prisons, incinerators, and municipal waste in their local neighborhoods to Native women and two-spirit people on the frontlines in northern Minnesota protesting the oil pipelines, local mobilization fuels transnational resistance. Drawing from rich activist history, this course addresses the racialized, classed, and gendered impacts of climate change. Through an intersectional framework and an interdisciplinary approach, we will unpack the historical legacy of environmental racism rooted in a settler colonial and white supremacist landscape. We will study contemporary theoretical work grounded in Black Feminist Thought, Chicana feminisms, and Indigenous feminism to understand environmental discourses, ecological theories, and systemic solutions for climate justice. Ultimately this course asks what cultural shifts, collaborations, practices, and theoretical interventions are necessary to cultivate a more just world.
