This course introduces students to climate justice (CJ) – the idea that climate change can be devastating not only for our planet’s atmosphere and ecosystems, but also for our society. We will explore how the impacts of climate change – such as droughts, hurricanes, and rising sea levels – affect certain groups and places more than others, from communities in Syracuse to farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, we will learn about scholars, activists and local communities fighting – often successfully – to rectify these inequalities and to achieve climate justice for all the inhabitants of our warming planet. In discussing these issues, we will draw from many radical theories and concepts that will help us understand the course topic from diverse perspectives, such as feminism, energy democracy, ecological justice, Indigenous knowledge, and queer & trans liberation. The course does not require any prior knowledge in climate science.
