Ed & Environ (In)Justice

Catalog description

This course uses critical theories to analyze the intersections of race, class and the environment and how these (re)produce educational inequities in historically marginalized Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. It provides a close-analysis on how environmental racism differently impacts educational spaces at the U.S.-Mexico border and the implications for educational access, opportunities and outcomes among diverse fronterizx and transfronterizx students and their communities. Students will explore how BIPOC knowledge and resistance can be used to redress educational inequities related to environmental racism.
