ENV 310 - Global Environmental Conflicts

Min Units: 3
Max Units: 3
The purpose of this course is to develop and expand students’ understandings of the causes and consequences of global conflicts over environmental policies. Additionally, students will analyze social movement alternatives to these problems using different criteria of justice: distribution, recognition, and participation. Conflicts over environmental policy have important social dimensions because social systems and environmental systems are inextricably linked. Through a social-inequalities analysis of conflicts over climate change, water availability/privatization, food security, sustainability, industrialization, grown, and chemical, oil, and radioactive pollution, students will further develop and interdisciplinary understanding of these issues.
