EARTHSYS 119: Just Transitions Policy Lab (CSRE 155, URBANST 155)

Building off the work of the Stanford Coalition for Planning an Equitable 2035 (SCoPE), the just transitions policy lab will address transportation justice, housing justice, and labor equity concerns that have been identified by neighboring communities to Stanford and our service workers as part of local land use planning and policy processes. Building on the success of earlier housing justice policy lab initiatives, this course will support ongoing policy engagement in local land use planning process, including housing and transportation justice issues. Key concepts addressed will include environmental justice (EJ) and just transitions frameworks, as well as building awareness of the Bay Area housing crisis. The course will culminate in class projects that will involve working with community partners to address information gaps on worker experiences and housing and transportation needs. Sessions will prioritize 1) foundational concepts in environmental justice 2) current issues in our more »

EARTHSYS 125: Shades of Green: Exploring and Expanding Environmental Justice in Practice (CSRE 125E, EARTHSYS 225, URBANST 125)

Historically, discussions of race, ethnicity, culture, and equity in the environment have been shaped by a limited view of the environmental justice movement, often centered on urban environmental threats and separated from other types of environmental and climate advocacy. This course will seek to expand on these discussions by exploring topics such as access to outdoor spaces, definitions of wilderness, inclusion in environmental organizations, gender and the outdoors, the influence of colonialism on ways of knowing, food justice and ethics, and the future of climate change policy. The course will also involve a community partnership project. In small groups students will work with an environmental organization to problem-solve around issues of equity, representation, and access. We value a diversity of experiences and epistemologies and welcome undergraduates from all disciplines. Since this is a practical course, there will be a strong emphasis on participation and commitment to community partnerships. This course requires instructor approval, please submit an application by March 5th at midnight. Application available at https://forms.gle/2kRJFRyfwopWcBeT9

EARTHSYS 166: Building Alliances for Water Justice: Case Studies from California

What is water (in)justice? How have frontline communities come together to reveal inequities in water access and flows, advance meaningful reform, and build and sustain alliances? How do we center equity and repair in the face of drought and climate change? How do we learn to be good allies for water equity? This class will provide a nuanced examination of water injustice and justice by examining historical foundations, inequities in governance and distribution, and pathways toward restoration, repair, and water rights reform for justice. We will anchor our learning in three California-based modules where Indigenous and frontline communities have built powerful alliances for water equity and reform: 1) access to safe drinking water as a human right, 2) protecting in-stream flows and tribal beneficial uses of water in the face of large-scale water exports and diversions, and 3) dam removal for ecological and cultural restoration. Each module will include issue framing and readings from more »

Each module will include issue framing and readings from a multidisciplinary instructor team working from an allied perspective, a panel conversation with frontline community leaders for Indigenous rights and environmental justice, and student-led readings and discussions. By grounding our learning in dialogue with frontline community leaders who are reshaping the legal, political, and eco-cultural landscapes for water justice in California, we seek to question dominant frameworks of "community vulnerability," learn from the lived experience of individuals and organizations building meaningful alliances for justice, and begin to anticipate a wide array of legal, policy, organizing, and institution building strategies for reform.

EARTHSYS 194: Introduction to Environmental Justice: Race, Class, Gender and Place (ENVRES 223)

This course examines the rhetoric, history and key case studies of environmental justice while encouraging critical and collaborative thinking, reading and researching about diversity in environmental movements within the global community and at Stanford, including the ways race, class and gender have shaped environmental battles still being fought today. We center diverse voices by bringing leaders, particularly from marginalized communities on the frontlines to our classroom to communicate experiences, insights and best practices. Together we will develop and present original research projects which may serve a particular organizational or community need, such as racialized dispossession, toxic pollution and human health, or indigenous land and water rights, among many others. Cardinal Course certified by the Haas Center for Public Service. On Mondays, we will meet for discussion-based seminars and small group activities. On Wednesdays, Intro to EJ students will attend lectures presented by leading EJ scholars and advocates through the Environmental Justice Colloquium ( EARTHSYS 194A).

EARTHSYS 194A: Environmental Justice Colloquium (HUMRTS 194A, URBANST 155A)

This colloquium brings the voices and vision of leading Environmental Justice (EJ) advocates to the Stanford community, in order to educate, inspire, and transform our understanding of environmental science. Environmental Justice advances a positive vision for policies and actions that fight environmental racism. EJ approaches involve centering the voices and leadership of marginalized communities in 1) ensuring equitable access to environmental benefits, and 2) preventing or mitigating the disproportionate impacts of environmental harms for all communities, regardless of gender, class, race, ethnicity, or other social positions. This colloquium highlights the work of leading EJ thinkers and practitioners, speaking from frontline organizations on a wide range of topics. These topics include acting on toxic exposures and health disparities for community resilience, climate justice and youth action, Indigenous land and water rights, green cities and Afrofuturism, food justice and intersecting social movements, queer ecologies, and more. The colloquium will host a weekly speaker with course meetings held every Wednesday. Colloquium presentations will begin promptly at 12pm.
