The goal of this course is to teach emergency medical care that enables the student to (a) recognize symptoms of illness and injuries; (b) implement proper procedures; (c) administer appropriate care; (d) achieve and maintain proficiency in all caregiving skills; (e) be responsible and behave in a professional manner; and (f) become certified in Community First Aid/AED and CPR for the Professional Rescuer.

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

This course examines climate change and energy policy from several perspectives including scientific, economic, equity, political and practical considerations. We examine sources and trends of greenhouse gas emissions and climate impacts and then focus on a specific sector (e.g., electric power) to consider existing policies, market structures and the spectrum of approaches to reduce emissions. Students work in small groups on projects in an active policy area and prepare a briefing and memo. Prerequisite: ENV 101 or permission of the instructor. Enrollment limited to 12.

Natural, wild, domestic – where are the boundaries? Should we care more about “charismatic megafauna” than bugs? How are race, gender, and class implicated in animal agriculture? This course interrogates the relationship between nonhuman animals, humans, and our shared environment. The first half introduces ways of thinking about and studying animals and society. The second half is thematic, exploring ways of conceptualizing and relating to nonhuman animals, including pets, pests, wildlife, and agricultural commodities/food.

This course is designed to develop a student’s abilities as an environmental problemsolver through practice. The problems come in two forms: a campus or local problem related to environmental sustainability or resilience, and the problem of what to do with one’s life. To address each, students engage in a semester-long group project that addresses a real-world environmental issue or question (projects vary from year to year) and a more individualized examination of the student’s own values, career aspirations and skills.

This course focuses on the interpretation and communication of environmental issues and solutions from multi- and interdisciplinary perspectives. Using contemporary environmental topics as a foundation, this course emphasizes careful assessment of both message and audience to design effective communication strategies for complex topics.

In this laboratory complement to 201, students use a variety of methods to gather and analyze different types of environmental data (quantitative, qualitative, spatial). Corequisite: ENV 201. Enrollment limited to 18.

While focusing on topical environmental issues, students learn how to gather, analyze and present data using methods from the natural and social sciences. Data are drawn from multiple sources, including laboratory experiments, fieldwork, databases, archival sources, surveys and interviews. Emphasis is on quantitative analysis. Environmental topics vary in scale from the local to the global. Note: 202 must be taken concurrently. Prerequisite: ENV 101. Enrollment limited to 18.

Offered as CHM 108 and ENV 108. An introduction to environmental chemistry, applying chemical concepts to topics such as acid rain, greenhouse gases, air quality, pesticides and waste treatment. Chemical concepts are developed as needed.
