ENV-3030: Global Justice & Ecology

From the disruption of the global climatic system to increased rates of cancers, diabetes, autism, and asthma throughout the world, the last 150 years of industrialization, fossil fuel extraction and development have caused untold human and ecological harm - and benefits, according to some. In this course, we will critically examine the current state of the human health and ecological crisis, and development theory and practice, from impacted community, social movement, and governmental perspectives. The course will explore 5 broad conceptual themes including: Global Forces/Local Impacts, Environmental Health and Justice, Right to the City, Nature in the City, and Food Justice. We will also look at the various proposed solutions to these problems, from mainstream, liberal, progressive, and radical perspectives. This course is based on a body of work called political ecology, which is drawn from environmental justice studies, geography, sociology, development studies, and critical cultural studies
