EA 150 PZ -Senior Sem in Environ Analysis

Institution: Pitzer

Description: The EA senior seminar is organized around themes of climate catastrophe and conceptions of our present and future. We examine philosophical premises about nature, culture, race, and humanness that undergird perceptions of climate change, and we tackle how to deal with climate catastrophe at personal and communal levels?as thinking, feeling, and justice- oriented beings. This course requires readings, active discussion, and process-oriented brainstorming and praxis work. We embody the principle of thinking through (and thinking with) environmental problems by reading about the work of scholars and activists who question anthropocentrism, and we create our own projections of what is to come. Our goal for the class is to generate collective approaches for surviving and thriving even when the planet is not/may not?this is what Donna Haraway calls ?cultivating conditions for ongoingness.?
