This course provides an exploration of the environmental justice (EJ) movement.
Central to our study is an examination of environmental degradation, inequality in exposure to pollution in relationship to racism and poverty, and globalization's effect on international environmental injustices. We will critically analyze the role of grassroots activism, the law, and alternative dispute resolution methods used to redress environmental injustices.Coursework relies on relevant interdisciplinary scholarship, case studies, and engaged in class simulations.
