This course examines how the relationship between gender and nature has been conceptualized and represented across time and culture; to investigate the role of gender in shaping our perceptions and treatment of the earth; to analyze the ways gender, race, class, and sexuality oppressions are linked to environmental and animal exploitation; and to examine how the interplay among science, technology, economics, ideology, and culture has created and sustained hierarchies that are manifest in our relationships to the natural world.
