Ecological spaces and nonhuman beings play a key role in human politics, the human imagination, and in constructing this idea of “the human.” Animals have long played a key role (not voluntarily) in distinguishing a hierarchy among humans, but plants also play a key role in the Western Enlightenment ideal that sets humans as “apart from” rather than “part of” an ecology of beings. Bringing environmental studies, indigenous studies, and critical race theory perspectives to bear on gender and sexuality studies, this course takes feminism as an identity, an object of analysis, a methodological approach and social justice practice.
