Sustainable Justice

Catalog description

Sustainable Justice brings together knowledge from sustainability and environmental justice, recognizing that the ways humans treat each other are intimately connected with the ways humans treat "nature." The course explores standpoints that reposition human identities as interconnected with other species and environments, both ecological and cultural. It offers students fresh approaches to understanding climate change, food security, human and environmental health, ecological economics, social and environmental justice. Guest speakers will introduce applications of Sustainable Justice across the disciplines, i.e. eco-art, ecocriticism, environmental documentary, and environmental justice movements for protecting life on earth.
