Environmental Justice Dilemma
Sherri Paulette White-Williamson
Description from DukeHub
This course will examine the history, monumental events in the environmental justice movement and the impacts that this movement has had and will continue to have on conditions in communities and low-income communities. Students will study the juxtaposition of environmental justice communities and the response in urban, suburban, and rural settings. We will consider how the development and acceptance of environmental justice impacts daily life. Course materials and class discussions will also include a look at international environmental justice as well. Students will be tasked with exploring the implications of decision making at the local, state, federal, and international level.
