Who is most hurt by ongoing planetary ecocide and who benefits? How can humanities scholarship, literary texts, popular culture, and activist practices help us analyze environmental injustice, consider alternatives and participate in change-making? Together we will unpack the intersections of climate crisis, violent settler world-making, and systemic racial, gendered and class-based injustice. Readings and viewings will represent a diverse array of socio-political situations and equally varied aesthetic strategies. Taking cue from Jack Halberstam's concept of "unworlding," we'll study strategies of breaking, stopping and disrupting unjust systems. Texts by foundational scholar-activists such as Kyle Whyte, Ashley Dawson and the Combahee River Collective will present methods of living justly in our rapidly changing world. Involvement in local ecologies and community organizations will also be an important part of our class work.
