What is a social movement? This seminar provides an interdisciplinary critical examination of environmental social movements on the global and local levels, considering how they represent themselves and have been represented, how they have changed through history, the ethical debates that inform them, as well as how they have both shaped and been shaped by structures of power and privilege.
