Environmental Justice

Environmental Justice (EJ) uses an integrated social and ecological justice framework to examine the evolution of the EJ movement from its origins in the historical relationship between environmental racism, “the disproportionate impact of environmental hazards on people of color” and environmental justice as a “response to environmental racism” (Energy Justice Network: http://www.ejnet.org/ej/ ) to incorporate more global concerns regarding disproportionate access to environmental benefits and protection from environmental burdens for marginalized communities in both domestic and international contexts. The course integrates the study of theoretical works in environmental justice and intercultural competence for developing, analyzing, and promoting sustainable and equitable practices and policies that incorporate intercultural competence and communication skills.
