Course Description:
People living in poverty, people of color, tribal communities, and other marginalized groups are disproportionately exposed to environmental hazards and suffer the worst effects of climate change. The overarching goals of the course are to 1) identify the primary structural causes of these inequalities, and 2) study the efforts of the Environmental Justice (EJ) and Climate Justice (CJ) movements to eliminate these inequalities and create more just and sustainable societies. The course draws on core concepts from environmental sociology, political ecology, sociology of race and ethnicity, Indigenous studies, and social movement theory to explain these phenomena. |
