This course is meant to provide students with theoretical and practical tools to engage with one of the most pressing questions of this century: the relationship between humans and "Nature". During this course we will critically analyse the complex nexus between humans, ecology, environmental degradation, climate crisis from an interdisciplinary perspective and a South-North-South dialogue. Emerging debates and key concepts from the fields of human ecology. political ecology, anthropology and international law such as the Anthropocene, extractivism, Rights of Nature and more-than-humans will be discussed.
