This course introduces students to the intersection of feminism and the environmental movement. Together we explore why feminism grounds itself in a deep concern for the environment as well as the link between feminist theory and the current environmental crisis. We survey the background and history of the movement as well as its contemporary diversity. In addition, this course investigates the origins of the current environmental crisis in Western science, philosophy and religion and devotes considerable time to the following topics in ecofeminist thought: politics, responsible citizenship, economics, materialism, ethics, animals, vegetarianism and religion. While examining various feminist critiques of this situation, we concentrate mostly on feminist solutions to the crisis.
