Benedict LegasonInformative and worth taking. One of the course's strengths was its focus on environmental justice, particularly in the context of marginalized communities. It sheds light on how certain gender-related disparities, such as access to resources or decision-making power, exacerbate environmental injustices. The course exposed me to a global perspective on gender and environmental issues. It covered a wide range of topics, from climate change and biodiversity loss to eco-feminism and women's roles in sustainable development. This comprehensive approach enabled me to appreciate the worldwide implications of these issues. -
