This course introduces students to the major concepts and debates on environmental and climate justice. That is, the unequal effects of climate change and the ongoing efforts by social movements, NGOs, and governments to combat such effects. The course focuses on both U.S. and international perspectives on environmental and climate justice. To accomplish these goals, the course contents draw on material from political science, environmental studies, and human rights. This course is designated as an E-literacy course, and counts toward requirements in political science, environmental studies, and human rights.
