Method: lectures, case studies, informed discussions. Evaluation: reflection paper, integration paper, practical integration.
Due to anthropogenic climate change and associated dynamics, the human species now threatens Earth’s capacity to sustain life as we know it. Climate change, loss of biodiversity and deterioration of eco-system intersect with various forms of social injustice based on race/ethnicity, class, gender, nationality, caste, and geographical divides. This course in ecological ethics asks, “What is the theological ethics we need for such a time like this?” How may we articulate an earth-honoring, justice-seeking ethics? In responses the course explores various ways of 'doing' ecological ethics, with special attention to feminist/womanist and decolonial approaches.
