Topic for Fall 2021: Social Justice and Critical Geography
This course examines the spatial dimensions of various systems of social injustice including racism, sexism, and economic inequality. We examine how space (physical, imagined, or otherwise) structures our social world: how markers of race, class, sexuality, gender, and nationality intersect in our bodies, lives, emotions, and physical environment. We situate our analysis in economic processes such as productive and reproductive labor, migration, displacement, and gentrification.
