I will make my course more engaging by replacing disposable assignments with embodied activities, memorable experiences, and connection with students’ everyday lives. I will provide routine through scaffolded repetition so students know what to expect and understand how concepts build on each other. I will use a low-cost textbook ($10-$15) and a low-cost journal (also $10-$15). All other materials will be available for download on the course LMS for no extra cost. Each activity below will highlight one of the three key ideas in environmental justice theory followed by a reflection exercise to ensure the students understand the nuances between them. I will also add a discussion board to the LMS so students can post examples of environmental injustices they read about in the media or learn about in their daily lives. The intent of the Discussion Board is to foster sharing and create community.

This class explores the foundations of environmental justice theory and how they apply to historical, current, and emerging global issues. The goal of the course is to explore theories of distributive, procedural, and recognition justice as they relate to environmental ‘goods’ and ‘bads.’ We will explore a variety of case studies, touching on interrelated topics ranging from climate justice, food justice, energy justice, water justice, etc. This course blends sociological perspectives with natural resource management and policy implication
Learning Objectives: Develop a critical understanding of the historical development of the theory and practice of environmental justice. Gain familiarity with key thinkers, theories, and debates in the field. Be able to identify social, economic, and political factors that contribute to the existence of disparities in environmental outcomes.
