In our own communities and around the world, people are disproportionately affected by environmental problems if they are communities of color and/or socio-economically disadvantaged. These environmental injustices harm human and environmental health and contribute to global inequalities. The environmental justice movement is connecting and empowering marginalized communities throughout the world through a shared experience and is empowering those communities to demand a healthier world. This course uses interdisciplinary readings, community experiences, class discussions, and personal reflection to explore the impact of the environmental justice movement on our world and global communities.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of COR 1 or COR 199 or COR 199 in progress; two full-time semesters of college credit, excluding retro credits, AP credits, and college credit earned while in high school.
