Hazards become disasters when they affect people. This class is about understanding the social policies and practices that turn hazards into disasters. In this discussion-based seminar, we will explore case studies of hazards - heat wave, wildfire, hurricane, and climate change - and the environmental justice (EJ) issues that arise. Students will think critically, work to see issues from multiple viewpoints, and improve their ability to understand the social and environmental justice issues in current events.

3.00 Credits
How can fiction help us understand and apply science? In this interdisciplinary class, we'll use climate fiction, climate change science, journalism reports, movies, and research on science communication to understand the role narratives can play in creating visions of the future and motivating us to take action. Students will learn to integrate across disciplines and explore how narratives in fiction and non-fiction writing shape public perceptions of scientific research.
