CRES 207Seeing the Earth Before the End of the World

A study of practices of ecological engagement that disrupt colonial paradigms of apprehending land and its relation to time. How to see the earth—really see it—even as it’s pressed upon by serial disasters that racial capitalism engenders? Working with Indigenous and diasporic archives of knowing, students ask how normative temporalities organize ecological perception. Reflecting on various visions of decolonization, students learn from liberatory ways of engaging histories of environmental damage—and consider how activists and artists enact reparative relations to land, even as it's marked for ruin.
