Climate Action: The Politics of Decarbonization
Description
This discussion-based seminar will introduce you to six prominent modes of action for responding to climate change: sustainable consumption, environmental art & aesthetics, climate litigation, green industrial policy, climate protest, and prefigurative eco-experiments. We will learn about these forms of action primarily through political theory, philosophy, and ethnography, but we will supplement this literature with films, museum exhibits, legal and policy documents, and your own journals on everyday consumption patterns.
