Osnova

• Classes are based on one reading (i.e. journal article or book chapter) done by students before the class. Students will answer a question (max. 500 words) based on the reading and bring their answers printed in class where some of them will be asked to present their answers. This will be followed by a 15-20 minutes class discussion on the question, the topics it touches upon and the issues it raises, which will be based on student answers to the question. The class is complemented with classroom activities and a more ‘traditional’ lecture format in which the tutor explains further points related to the topic and concludes with a summary of main points raised with the class. • Programme • Class Day Time Room • 1 Introduction, and capitalist natures • 2 Racialised natures, environmental justice, and othering • 3 Environmental subjects, disciplining and environmentality
