ENVI 350A - Environmental Justice

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Environmental Studies

Description:

Recently, an emerging national environmental justice movement has created frameworks for combating the inequitably distributed health risks of advanced industrial society. This movement, global in scope but often locally rooted, makes links between disparate impact, unequal protection, and environmental discrimination in relation to issues of class, gender and race. In our exploration of environmental justice, students will integrate their learning experience with diverse theoretical and conceptual points of view, by questioning previous knowledge and examining and critiquing multiple perspectives.
