AFRO 1905 - African American Ecological Thought (3 Cr.) Race, Power, and Justice US, Freshman Seminar

African-Amer & African Studies (10947) TCLA - College of Liberal Arts

Course description

What is the relationship between humans and nature? What are the root causes of environmental problems? How can we build sustainable societies? Black activists, artists, scholars, and folks have engaged these questions throughout American history—and shaped policy, living and labor practices, and the landscape itself in the process. This course examines how black ecological thought has both challenged and contributed to dominant environmental frameworks across the 20th and 21st centuries.
