  • EVST 6001: Global Environmental Law and Policy

    3.00 Credits
    University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

    This course uses a combination lecture and discussion formats to introduce students to fundamental legal and policy issues in environmental law at both the domestic and international levels. Beginning with an overview of the key institutions and approaches that form the foundation of environmental law, the course examines the evolution of environmental law from historic common law doctrines to the rise of federal authority and the development of modern statutory and regulatory approaches to environmental issues. Focusing on an examination of key legal cases and statutes, the course will cover air and water pollution, waste management, environmental impact analysis, and toxic substances. Students will also examine key international agreements addressing global issues and the institutions and principles designed to promote treaty management, compliance and cooperation.

  • EVST 6002: Global Biodiversity: Law and Policy

    3.00 Credits
    University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

    This course uses a primarily discussion-based format to introduce students to a newly emerging area of study, the law & policy of global biodiversity protection. An explicitly interdisciplinary area, the course cuts across multiple traditional areas of the law, including constitutional, administrative and international law, as well as exploring some of the underlying scientific and ecological issues in biodiversity and natural resource protection. Beginning with an overview of biological diversity and the history, key institutions and approaches that form the foundation, the course examines the evolution of biodiversity law from an area of historic state concern to the rise of federal authority and the development of modern approaches to biodiversity protection. Focusing on an examination of key legal cases and statutes, the course will cover endangered species, public lands, marine mammals and fisheries, and international issues such as the control of trade in endangered species, whaling and the interactions between global trade and biodiversity. Students will examine key international agreements addressing global biodiversity and the institutions designed to promote multilateral agreements, compliance and cooperation.

  • EVST 6010: Environmental Risk Analysis

    3.00 Credits
    University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

    This course provides an integrated set of tools to determine the quantitative relationship between human or ecological exposure to environmental toxicants and the probability of adverse health effects. Additionally, the primary methods for managing these risks, including human medical treatment, site remediation, or risk management strategies that use risk communication as a behavioral risk management tool are determined. Whenever possible, practical aspects of predicting and managing risk to human health to meet societal needs are assessed. Lecture material is intended as basic science material for homework assignments and exams, which are designed to apply the principles learned in class. Thus lecture material primarily presents the tools, while homework and exams apply them.

    University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

    This course analyses the development of American cities in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. With a mix of environmental and urban history techniques, the class addresses both the cultural and political factors leading to suburbanization, metropolitan fragmentation, and sprawl. At the same time, the class will give special consideration to the deterioration of central cities and the social and environmental consequences of unsustainable development of American cities in the late twentieth century.

  • EVST 6032: Critical Perspectives in Political Ecology: Culture, Power, Nature

    3.00 Credits
    University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

    This course explores the intersection of cultural dynamics, political struggle, and ecological process in particular places through the theoretical lens of political ecology. In addition to exploring the foundations of political ecology in social theory, we will investigate the way cultural and political negotiations over the meanings of "nature" mediate human-ecological interaction in case studies from around the world and the implications such knowledge may have for practical solutions to contemporary problems such as climate change, natural disaster, and resource degradation.

  • EVST 6035: Carbon Cycling and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

    3.00 Credits
    University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

    This course is designed to explore the most up-to-date scientific literature on anthropogenic alterations in global biogeochemical cycles, particularly greenhouse gas emissions. Readings will be drawn from the peer-reviewed literature and the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Topics covered will include human impacts on the Earth such as fossil fuel mining and combustion, deforestation, agriculture, water resources, and urbanization; the global climate system; and feedbacks between global biogeochemical cycles and the climate system. The course will be formatted as a discussion with student-led presentations combined with lectures.

  • EVST 6042: Environmental Exposure and Toxicology

    3.00 Credits
    University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

    This course examines the nature of toxicants in the environment and the risk they pose to human health. Coverage includes: sources and regulation of toxic chemicals, chemical fate in the environment, routes of human exposure, toxicity testing, toxicity pathways in the body, individual, and population effects. Basic information is introduced through brief lectures and pre-class assignments. A majority of class time is spent working independently or in groups to integrate, interpret, and share current developments and information. Concurrent with class, students conduct an independent project where they identify an issue and contact appropriate individuals or facilities within the community to interview, tour, and observe. The course goal is to challenge advanced students to become fully responsible for their own learning and education in a rapidly-changing area that is both relevant to their major and applicable to their life.
