About this Course

This course examines how the conversation surrounding the environmental crisis has been shaped by theological understandings of women and their relationship with nature and the Sacred. Further, the particular issues faced when addressing the intersectionality of race and gender - such as environmental racism and climate injustice - will be explored. In particular, the course will address how theology has shaped the perception of women globally, and how that perception has manifested itself practically. TE, CT
