Stony Brook University 3 credits SUS
Explores the inequitable distribution of environmental risks, such as exposure to toxic chemicals and materials, versus environmental benefits such as access to environmental protections and natural resources. Most importantly, this course explores the essential question of ‘why’ there is such an inequity and, oftentimes, ‘who’ permits or allows disparate treatment. As Dr. Robert Bullard states, “who gets what, why, and how much?” Understanding the moral questions that underpin environmental justice requires exploration from the sociopolitical standpoint, but also through legal, economic, policy, and historical standpoints on a domestic, international, and transnational scale. The course will include readings from sociology and political science texts and perspectives, as well as literary and film portrayals of environmental justice topics. Formerly offered as EHM 323; not for credit in addition to EHM 323. 3 credits Prerequisite: WRT 102 Advisory Preq: SUS 203 (formerly SBC: 203)
