ETHC 2050 Inequality and the Environment (1-3)

This is a travel course that focuses on the intersection of environmental and social justice considerations. Students will study the ways in which racism, sexism, ableism, classism, nationalism, colonialism and anthropocentrism shape decisions about which beings (human and non-human alike) thrive and which survive, and they will have the opportunity to study and forge creative, caring, responsible solutions to the problems they confront. Through on-ground, first-hand experiences, students will experience how different cultures navigate and attempt to mitigate the challenges that arise from changing climates and the need for sustainable development. Students will apply ethical reasoning and interdisciplinary approaches to analyze the ways in which vulnerable populations are disproportionately harmed when sea levels rise, when fresh water becomes scarce or contaminated, when food and fuel sources are unsustainable or unobtainable, and when hazardous wastes are sited or released.
