Geography 312CJ - Seminar: 'Geographies of Climate Justice'

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the planet, and it is intimately connected to uneven and inequitable social, political, economic, and environmental geographies. In this seminar course we explore climate justice with a lens on both climate science and critical geographies. Topics include greenhouse gas emissions, ongoing and projected future impacts; differential experiences and narratives of climate change; the ways that suggested climate solutions interface with social and economic difference and marginalization; and more-than-human geographies of climate change. Students will leave this course with a broader understanding of the necessity and practice of climate justice.

Prereq: 8 credits in the sciences.
