EEMS 6351 Environmental Justice
This seminar provides an overview of environmental justice theories and the ways that environmental justice scholars from across multiple fields, including race, gender, and indigenous studies, problematize, conceptualize, and address environmental injustices in the domains of food, waste, water, and climate. The seminar will focus on providing students with the skills to be reflexive practitioners in the natural resource and environmental management field by incorporating praxis-based pedagogical techniques that link real-world problems to theory and concepts learned in class. In particular, throughout the course, students will examine, through course readings, discussion leadership and participation, critical reflections, and a final paper and presentation, environmental justice challenges that arise when working in natural resource and ecosystem management, using methods provided in the course sessions, develop responses to these challenges.
