In this course, students will investigate current threats to the natural world, various sociopolitical positions and frames used to justify individual and human wellbeing over collective, environmental and non-human wellbeing, and relevant socio-political pedagogies to address the hegemonic, pacification discourses of neoliberalism. The three major concepts in this course – critical pedagogy, neoliberalism, and environmental consciousness – will be connected through readings and film. The role of the corporate media and prominent individual journalists around environmental consciousness will also be explored.
