JCL 330 - Environmental Justice

Upper Division

This course focuses on the complex relationship between humans and the environment, specifically examining how our everyday choices, individual behaviors, built infrastructures, and policies and institutions affect the environment, and consequently our global human community. Drawing on theories and concepts from a variety of fields such as cultural sociology, social psychology, ethnic studies, political ecology, urban geography and economics, we will examine how power, privilege and justice relate to environmental problems and solutions. Students are required to devote time each week to community engagement and guided reflection activities, produce a literature review and advocacy presentation, and complete content examinations.
