This course introduces students to the intersection of feminism and the environmental movement. Together we explore why feminism grounds itself in a deep concern for the environment as well as the link between feminist theory and the current environmental crisis. We survey the background and history of the ecofeminist movement as well as its contemporary diversity and intersectionality. In addition, this course investigates the origins of the current environmental crisis under patriarchy including in philosophy and religion and devotes considerable time to ecofeminist positions on the eating/non-eating of animals and the ethics of care. In this course, we concentrate on ecofeminist critiques of patriarchal solutions to the environmental crisis and assess proposed ecofeminist solutions to the crisis.
