GEOG 40.03 Race, Space, and Nature

Ideas of racial difference are frequently advanced as “natural” truths about the world, linked to normative conceptions of environmental relations. Reciprocally, racism—as a set of deadly ideological and material practices articulated around purported group differences—has profoundly shaped conceptions of non-human nature. This course asks how race is inflected in the politics and practices through which humans interact with the “natural” world, and explores the implications for contemporary movements and mobilizations for environmental justice.
