For our last two topics, we will be completing work online without scheduled campus sessions.

PREPARATION

For this session we are studying conceptions of justice that have emerged from the current ecological crisis. Students are to prepare for the session by:

1. Watching 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 introduce her work in her own words.

2. Reading the following sections of Vandana Shiva's Earth Democracy: Introduction, chapters 2 and 4.

Note: the text can be accessed electronically through the university library.

TO DO

Use the link below to take you to a discussion forum in which you can post a written response to a question regarding Shiva's text. Your response will be visible to the other members of your group. You are then expected to offer at least two questions or comments in response to other students. Your response to Shiva's text is to be posted by midnight on Tuesday 1 August. You are to have offered responses to other students by midnight on Thursday 3 August.
