EA 083 PZ -Climate Justice in Anthropocene

Institution: Pitzer

Description: Climate Justice in the Anthropocene Melting ice, droughts, deforestation, fires, floodings, hurricanes, heatwaves: the future climate crisis is now present and unprecedented, affecting different groups of people in uneven and variable ways. Individuals and communities across the world are now confronted with the uneven distribution of climate harms and risks, facing the anxieties and uncertainties that come from unknowable futures. Drawing insights from the humanities and social sciences, this course explores the politics, anxieties and futures of climate change in the current anthropocene epoch, attending to the ways in which climate harms, risks and inequalities are unequally distributed along axes of gender, class, race, nationality,and indigeneity.
