For this week we are studying conceptions of justice that have emerged from the current ecological crisis. Student tasks for the week are to:

1. Watch the following discussion that introduces the themes for the week. Given the concerns about, e.g., colonialism that inform the discussion, it is again best to let Shiva introduces the concerns of her work in her own words.

2. Read the following sections of Shiva's Earth Democracy, which can be accessed as an e-book through the university library: Introduction, chapters 2 and 4.

3. Complete a discussion assignment by going to the discussion forum found here: Week 31 -- Shiva's Earth Democracy

Note that there are two deadlines associated with this assignment. Students are required to post an answer to a discussion question by midnight on Wednesday 2 August. They must then have completed a discussion with classmates by posting at least three questions or comments in response to other students by midnight on Sunday 6 August.
