Environmental Justice

Course Number: ENVST 234
Title: Environmental Justice
Day & Time 1: TR 02:30PM 03:45PM
Instructor I: Edusei K
Credit: 1.00
Course Description: This interdisciplinary seminar examines environmental justice as a movement and concept. We interrogate and discuss the historical role of racism, heteropatriarchy, colonialism and globalization in (re)producing and justifying place-based environmental contamination and toxicity. Through close analysis of case studies in the US and the Global South, students analyze and present on how disenfranchised groups have made political demands, scaled up, forged solidarities, asserted climate justice, challenged state and corporate projects and conducted citizen science in rural and urban settings.
Comments: Open to Seniors, Juniors, & Sophomores Only
