Feminist Political Ecology and Ecofeminism: Theoretical debates and political strategies - Detailseite

This course introduces students to feminist environmentalism. We will analyse discourses and practices from diverse regional backgrounds concerning the role of gender in environmental politics. Ecofeminism is often confronted with the charge of essentialism – is this reading correct? What does Feminist Political Ecology contribute to the current ecological crisis? The course is a theoretical introduction to the course taught by Meike Brückner on Food and Care.
