ENV-4130: Environmental Justice and Advocacy

In this course, students explore global environmental justice issues and effective means of advocacy. Students examine environmental justice and injustices through case studies documenting fair/unfair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. Students critically examine marginalized/vulnerable communities with respect to race, ethnicity, immigration status, lack of land ownership, formal education, political power or other characteristics. In addition, students investigate grassroots initiatives, climate resilience, risk, mitigation, and adaptation strategies.
