Environmental Justice

Overview
Curriculum
Reviews

Environmental Justice explores the equitable distribution of environmental benefits and burdens, recognizing that factors such as race, class, gender, and geographic location often influence how communities experience environmental conditions. This course examines historical patterns of injustice—such as the disproportionate siting of hazardous facilities in marginalized neighborhoods—and contemporary struggles for fair treatment, meaningful participation, and accountability in environmental decision-making.
Through case studies and theory, students will gain an understanding of how activism, policy, and legal frameworks have shaped the global environmental justice movement. Learners will also consider the intersections of environmental justice with public health, urban planning, climate adaptation, and Indigenous rights. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to identify inequities, propose inclusive policies, and support community-driven solutions that strive for fairness, dignity, and resilience for all people.
