Objectives:
Together, we will interrogate how structural forces (such as capitalism, racism, and white privilege) contribute to producing environmental injustice, and how dimensions of race, gender, class, and other axes of socio-spatial difference shape experiences of the environment. We will also examine the city as a site and object of environmental activism, critically analyzing grassroots and community-led forms of organizing and resistance.
The course is divided into two sections. In the first, we examine key perspectives and debates in urban studies, and how these have been used to understand, explain, and analyze environmental injustices. In the second part of the course, we apply and test these perspectives by examining a range of environmental topics (including urban adaptation, disasters, water infrastructure, waste, and air quality).
