Course Description
This course is an opportunity for students to examine Environmental Justice and the experience of Environmental Justice communities through various lenses. This course will be two-fold, the first providing a historical grounding in pertinent eras and events, and the latter examining how those historical events have contributed to the marginalization of communities through environmental in justices and socioeconomic disadvantages. We will also highlight the eco-activism of Black Americans, Indigenous, Tribal Communities and People-of-Color that have shaped the policy landscape of Environmental Justice in this Nation. This will be a hands-on course that will allow for the student to educate themselves beyond the textbook definition of Environmental Justice and Diversity that are provided in prototypical textbooks.
