GES 624 - Environmental Justice

[3]

This course is designed to engage students with the theoretical debates, case studies, and real-world practice of environmental justice (EJ). EJ concerns the equitable distribution of environmental benefits and burdens across diverse communities, and the grassroots activism of communities who live with environmental inequities. The course focuses particularly on US-based EJ issues related to human health. It is designed as a four-credit field course that includes a community-based learning component. We will meet in Baltimore at least once every other week.
