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).
