ARTS 4140 - Queer Ecologies

Queer Ecologies is an undergraduate and graduate arts course that uses art to think about our eco-futures. We will look at the disruptive nature of Cartesian thinking and binary positioning in relation to sexuality and ecologies. The “queering” is a means to refuse this binary thinking and consider expansive interdisciplinary practices that have evolved from LGBTQ+ and feminist theory, decolonial thinking, extinction and death studies, environmental justice, critiques of science and big pharma, biopolitics, bioethics, biology, science fiction, aesthetics, art and play.
