What is climate justice, and how does it fit into recent political trends? This course will help students understand climate justice, a social and racial justice movement with specific manifestations in particular locations. Students will be exposed to environmental and climate justice 'place studies' and learn about the people involved, including Indigenous communities, African Americans, and other minority groups. The course also explores key "discontents" of climate justice: climate denialism and xenophobic, authoritarian responses. By the end of the course, we will have a better grasp of what's at stake in climate struggles and our own role in these issues. USIDG, Fall semester.
