Environmental Justice.

Catalog description

This course introduces students to environmental justice issues, and underrepresented perspectives and experiences. They are examined through a lens of social dynamics inherent to, or inspiring, environmental movements. Critical thinking skills will be applied to complex and challenging realities. The class seeks to deconstruct commonly-held notions of the environment, privilege and class, and government policy to deepen understanding. Students are offered opportunities to collaborate on projects, contribute to ongoing discussions, and reflect upon their own experiences within real-world scenarios.
