SWK 301 - Environmental Equity

Institution:

Anna Maria College

Subject:

Description:

Examines the relationships among environmental issues, social concerns, and economics by engaging in a values-centered study plan rooted in the Catholic mission of the College. Analysis of environmental problems takes a social justice perspective and uses the data, models, and methods of both social work and environmental science. Students explore how the benefits and burdens of human-environmental interactions are distributed locally and intentionally, and with respect to differences in ethnicity, income, sex, and age. Students formulate strategies to prevent and remedy environmental equity problems by influencing the policies and operations of social systems. Field trips and speakers provide additional exposure to current issues.
