This course will explore global environmental justice issues, debates, and policies in the context of an
urbanizing world marked by race, gender, nationality, ethnicity, caste, class, and other lines of
difference. We will draw from scholarship in urban studies, anthropology, sociology, geography, and
other related fields to develop an appreciation of global environmental injustices and efforts to redress
these injustices, whether through formal planning and policies, social movements, community
organizing, or everyday environmentalism. We will cover environmental issues at multiple scales from
around the world and explore the interrelatedness of themes. Prerequisite: ENV 101. Instructor permisison required. Priority given to ENV majors.
