GSS 313 - Environmental Justice

We explore environmental justice as a strategy for community empowerment, and examine cases from local, transnational, and Indigenous perspectives to understand the importance of community participation and knowledges in decision-making, and the application of justice frameworks to future environmental questions. We examine how intersectional identities (e.g. gender, race, Indigeneity, sexuality, class, etc.) form and inform our experiences of the environment.
