ENVS 925 - Landscapes of Resistance

Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4HU

The UK has a long history of resistance to industrialization. This course will investigate the aesthetics and politics of climate justice through cultural productions including literature, film, new media, performance, protest, and social movements, placing climate activism in the UK in historical context as well as within current movements such as the Arab Spring and Occupy. Through projects and wider class discussions, we will consider the intersection of aesthetics and politics in climate justice and inquire into the potential for this convergence to generate democratic forms of engagement. Field trips required.
