About this Course

This course will consist of a brief survey of critical thought on the Anthropocene by specifically engaging questions of environmental justice, ethical responsibility for environmental destruction, and by examining the role of technology in the future of the environment. As well, we will consider the relationship between humans and nature, and consider how rethinking this interdependency allows us to imagine our ecological, political, and social futures.
