SD 2800 - Environmental Justice and Sustainable Development (3) When Offered: Fall; Spring This course introduces students to environmental justice as a field of transdisciplinary and community-engaged research, long-standing social movement, and site for anti-racist collaboration that is foundational for sustainable development in the United States and globally. We examine the intersections between civil rights, settler colonialism, and human and ecological well-being; we analyze how power and inequity are constructed along differences of race, ethnicity, gender, class, location, age, and ability; and we study community-led strategies for achieving justice. Students assess environmental injustices such as those related to contamination, extraction, conservation, and climate change and identify key leverage points for enacting change.
