The study of environmental justice focuses on the disproportionate impacts of environmental decisions and policies on underprivileged social groups, including but not limited to racial and ethnic minorities and people living in poverty. As an elective in environmental science and sustainability studies, this course emphasizes the social and economic justice components of environmental sustainability. It also explores issues of climate justice and equitable access to environmental benefits. Students will explore foundational theory in environmental justice and apply it to real-world case studies. They will have an opportunity to engage in service learning to contribute to resolving environmental injustices.
