ENGL1250-581 CE Summer Session 1 June 2-July 3 Asynchronous Online Enroll now! In ENGL1250-581: Introduction to World Literature by Women: Gender and Climate Change, we will ask the question “Why is climate change a women’s and gender issue?” We will read texts and watch films and lectures by and about women from the US, Mexico, Canada, Nigeria, Kenya, the Marshall Islands, Greenland, Sweden, Norway, India, Oman, Cameroon and Australia. Many of these works fall within the genre of climate fiction, or “cli-fi,” and we will discuss how these works illustrate connections between women, gender, and climate change, as well as how race, sexuality, marriage, parenthood and caregiving, definitions of family, and questions of power and nation intersect with how people live in a climate-changed world.
