Course Description
Graduate elective course.
Africa south of the Sahara contributes least to the global climate emergency but is already bearing a disproportionate burden of impacts. This course historicizes environmental management and mis-management on the continent since the onset of the capitalist era, key manifestations of the climate crisis, and activism, technologies and transnational normative frameworks that offer hope to mitigate the worst impacts of environmental change.
Available only to MA and PhD students.
