Environmental Science & Policy 327 - Environmental Justice & Decolonial Aspirations in an Urbanizing World

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. Priority given to ENV majors. Enrollment limited to 12. Juniors and seniors only. Instructor permission required.
