Environmental Advocacy

Catalog description

Environmental Advocacy asks students to examine how individuals, organizations, governments, and nations use media and storytelling to address environmental inequity by working locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally to work toward a more sustainable present and future. Through nuanced readings, case studies, hands-on learning, and media making, students will experience the challenges and benefits of advocating for a healthier and more equitable natural environment. The course will also introduce students to Indigenous perspectives and frameworks, including Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). No prior media production experience necessary.
