Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1003 The course explores the application of decolonial concepts at the intersections of science, technology, and environmental studies. How can we understand uneven social dynamics bound to sciences and technologies—with corresponding opportunities to reconfigure environmental scientific approaches? We analyze case studies that foreground diverse Latina/o and Indigenous populations of the Americas and Caribbean. Four segments include: (I) bridging sociology of science and technology with decolonial theory; (II) conservation and forestry practices; (III) science contestations around pollution and pesticides; and (IV) climate change and disasters. Prerequisite: 200-level course in ENVS or LAILS or SOCL or ANTH or permission of instructor.
