In this course, we will examine these lenses and the viability of merging traditions based on the colonial power dynamics and the production of socio-ecological inequalities. We will examine the dynamics and processes that ignite and perpetuate environmental injustices and animate the sites of resistance characterized by, for example, struggles for self-determination, recognition and affirmation, and emancipation. We will explore the forces of resistance as environmental justice movements and initiatives around the world assert and affirm their own ways of being, knowing and living, unveiling further the challenging and complex realms of resistance on the path toward environmental justice.
