In this course, we will consider how climate justice is envisioned in select speculative fiction (sf) while exploring our right to a clean environment. In doing so, we will read climate change as a political issue. We will critically examine how the genre represents the climate crisis through tropes of migration, authoritarian governmental policy, border securitization, and resilience. We will also consider how race, gender, and class shape the climate crisis and evaluate the effectiveness of sf in depicting the disproportionate effects of climate change. Assessment includes weekly discussion posts and short essays. Possible texts include Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower (1993), Nalo Hopkinson’s Midnight Robber (2000), Omar El-Akkad’s American War (2017), and Kim Stanley Robinson’s The Ministry for the Future (2020).
