ENVS 467 - Power, Privilege, and the Environment

An exploration of the ways in which identity characteristics (including race, gender, and class) and systems of oppression impact how communities conceive of and address environmental challenges. This course also examines the differential impacts of environmental harm on disadvantaged communities. Students will engage with these ideas through regular journaling, mapping and data collection exercises, a final paper and a student-directed civic or community engagement project.
