WS 344U Queer Ecologies

Applies intersectional queer theories to concepts of nature and the environment, to investigate how gender and sexualities have been central in defining what counts as "natural" for people, places, and practices. Explores how gender and sexualities intersect with colonialism, disability, race, social class, and other categories through social and scientific approaches to nature and what is considered "natural" in human/non-human ecosystems.
