Peoples Science: An introduction to citizen and community science

Catalog description

A one-time course on a special area of interest in environmental studies. Whether the public assists scientists or controls the research, citizen/community science (CS) partnerships between the public and professional scientists are growing rapidly, generating new knowledge, and stimulating important discussions about science, power and community. ENVS 193CS introduces CS theory and practices, with hands-on experience in local projects. If you work in environmental justice, climate change, government, non-profits or academia, CS will be part of the job!
