GLST 6423 - Social and Environmental Justice

3 credits

This course considers issues of justice between people, and between people and the rest of creation. Through this course a student will come to understand the “politics of transformation,” and take an in-depth look at core areas of injustice such as sexual slavery, economic inequality, globalization, political oppression, war and peace issues, indigenous rights, and gender inequality. The course also considers the historical roots of and contemporary solutions for ecological problems, and the ways in which environmental issues impinge on the practices of community development.
