Course Information
Description
This course explores the intersection of Black ecologies and Black religion and theology. It highlights frameworks within Black studies, Black religion, and Black theology to highlight and analyze the connection between Blackness and elements like water, trees (including wilderness), and climate. The course investigates how the knowledge generated from these relationships foster anarchist and liberative practices that create alternative epistemic pathways for a more just relationship to earth, as well as counternarratives for challenging prevailing understandings of environmental concepts such as climate change, the Anthropocene, and extraction.
