| Description | At a time of intensifying social anxiety over climate and social change, people are seeking ways to understand our relationship to our environment. Although scientific analyses dominate the climate crisis discourse in the media, spiritual responses to the environment have a strong tradition and offer a way for students to connect to their local communities and ecologies. This course explores the climate crisis through the lenses of ecology and religion, including Judeo-Christian eco-theologies, Asian cosmologies, and Indigenous spiritualities.
The course will consider the moral dimensions of ecological issues, especially as they relate to other justice issues of race, gender and poverty. |

Students will examine the history, politics, culture and socio-economic conditions of the Sonoran borderlands, located in the US Southwest, and consider a range of past and present issues and challenges that are both distinct to the certain regions, but also part of global/local constellations of borders and borderlands.

The course normally involves an experiential learning trip to Tucson, AZ, (USA) and Nogales, Sonora (Mexico).
