Course structure:Most classes, i.e. classes 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 , are based on one reading (i.e. journal article or book chapter) done by students before the class. Students will answer a question (max. 500 words) based on the reading, email their answers to the course tutor until 2 hours before the class, and bring their answer in class where some of them will be2 asked to present their answers. This will be followed by a 15-20 minutes class discussion on the question, the topics it touches upon and the issues it raises, which will be based on student answers to the question. The class is complemented by either a classroom activity or a more ‘traditional’ lecture format in which the tutor explains further points related to the topic and concludes with a summary of main points raised with the class.Class 1 is an introductory class, Class 2 is a conventional lecture given by the course instructor, and Class 9 involves watching a documentary in the classroom and then discussing it; students are not required to read a reading and answer an assignment question for any of those two classes. Class 5 is a student ‘open clinic’ session, during which the course instructor will provide feedback to students (for details see ‘Class 5’ below).The following is a programme of class sessions:IntroductionEcological distribution conflictsGreen materialismThe power of structures‘Open clinic’ sessionThe power from withinIncomplete dominations: post-structuralismThe agency of natureThe force of nature
