SOC 146 - Environmental JusticeSemester Hours: 3
This course examines the development of environmental justice as a concept, a policy goal, and a framework for social movement organizing. Drawing from domestic and international case studies, it will consider how environmental benefits, harms, and risks are unevenly distributed among communities and groups and how those groups have fought for fair treatment, recognition, and participation in environmental decision-making. Topics will include environmental racism and toxics, sea-level rise and community displacement, climate change as a driver of international migration, and the leading role of Indigenous communities in resisting environmental injustice.
