PHR 218 Environmental Justice
This course explores the social construction of nature, the environment and environmental problems. Students will investigate how social institutions shape the meaning of nature and the environment and thereby what we as a society perceive to be environmental problems. In this investigation, the role of race, gender, and class in environmental inequality will be demonstrated. Topics such as trash, urban parks, sustainability projects, landfills may be explored. This course will ground these inquires with specific study of nature, the environment, and refuse in New York City.
