Item Beyond Catastrophe Magazine ENVS 250 Final Project(Memphis, Tenn. : Rhodes College, 2024-04)Beyond Catastrophe Magazine is the final project for the spring 2024 course ENVS 250: Beyond Catastrophe: Feminist Approaches to Environmental Transformation. The authors of the publication wrote a message in the magazine that reads: "In this magazine, we are exploring the intersectionality of feminism and the pressing issues shaping our world today. In the following pages, we are going to unravel the intricate connections between the environment, feminist approaches, and the slow violence of climate change. The planet is facing unprecedented environmental challenges and it’s crucial to recognize the disproportionate impacts on women across the globe. Women are often on the frontlines of climate change, while bearing the brunt of natural disasters and simultaneously coping with unpaid care work. Global imminent catastrophes have different effects depending on one’s location and identity, and although the situations have similarities in different locations, the approaches vary depending on location. By advocating for understanding these in accordance with feminist frameworks, we can strive to close the gender gap with an emphasis on gender-responsive solutions. Feminist perspectives offer invaluable insights regarding justice, equality, and inclusivity. By centering our projects around the voices of women we can come to understand situated knowledge and embodied experiences such as the adaptation and care work women often perform in response to climate change. By examining multiple locations around the globe we have collectively gathered the international discrepancies in gender inclusivity- finding commonalities and formed communities through lived realities. Throughout this course, engaging in the process of reading, discussion, and reflection has helped shape our approach to a variety of feminist frameworks. We have read luminary works by authors at the forefront of feminist theory including Audre Lorde, Val Plumwood, bell hooks, etc. Analyzing ideas about the constructs of social vulnerability, the personal as political, and shadow places has allowed us to incorporate these concepts into our articles. We delve into the multifaceted relationship between gender, the environment, and climate change and highlight the vital role of women in environmental conservation efforts. By centering our project on the voices and experiences of women, we can construct theories on the intricate interplay between intersecting forces. As we navigate this complex terrain our goals align with amplifying the voices of women leading the change for environmental justice."Item Stylus, 1959(Memphis, Tenn. : Rhodes College Archives and Special Collections, 1959)This volume of Stylus dates from 1959.
