GEN 230 - Green Religion


Green Religion examines global religious environmental concerns and movements, particularly in Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. We will explore and compare global ecological theologies in these religious traditions, and we will investigate how women especially in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity address gender and ecological justice simultaneously. Throughout the course, we will attend to the religious understandings of the human person which inform both distorted relationships between human and other-than-human earthly life and religious women’s ecological activism to reconfigure these relationships.
