| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 3062 This is a topics course. Course content varies.; Current topic description: Climate justice is an incomplete conversation and effort, if it is not a global one. How do the global south/the developing world/the global poor—contested, distinct, yet interchangeable categories—figure in popular and academic writing on climate change? Can there be a role for the global South in the climate justice conversation that goes beyond portraying it as always and only vulnerable, exploited, devasted, threatening? Through studying a range of manifestations of climate change, and adaptation to it, we will attend to the complex political, historical and ecological contexts within which mal/adaptation is mis/understood, inequality between the global North and South is exposed, and migration is racialized. We will explore how popular climate change imaginaries materialize in development and security programmes and literature, and bespeak charged geopolitical and racial histories. As a group we will reflect on what futures for working in common such imaginaries enable/constrain. Approach: Course does not meet an Approach; Enrollment Cap: 18. |
