Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module explores the development and history of the formation of emancipatory movements and accompanying feminist, gender and queer theories. The aim of the course is to reflect on the relationship between ecocritical and economic issues and the ways in which notions of gender difference and forced heteronormativity are constructed. The application of the selected theoretical tools will help in a critical analysis of social phenomena related to the reproduction of gender violence in its multiple intertwining with other components, as well as in discussing the issues of climate justice.
