WGSS 302. Third Wave Ecofeminism

Cross listed with: SCOM 302
Credits 3.00 PeopleSoft Course ID 013658 Grading Basis GRD

This course explores the historically strong association between women and nature, in which the image of Mother Earth is central, and critiques the power-as-domination assumption of our culture shown in the exploitation of women and of the earth itself. Religious, psychological, social, historical and scientific manifestations of this assumption will be examined, along with alternative models of power and responsibility. Students will explore the considerable research on ecofeminism.
