Environment & Sustainability

专业详情

Many Cornell students are interested in learning about policies and practices that link environmental degradation to inequities in resources and power available to different groups of people, particularly low-income individuals and communities of color. Although many Cornell courses focus on environmental problems, relatively few courses explicitly link these topics to deep discussions of social inequality.

As a result, faculty involved with the E&S major reached out to colleagues to identify the following list of courses that focus on environmental justice. We do not claim that this small list is comprehensive, and we will try to keep it current as offerings expand. For now, we consider it a starting point for a discussion among faculty and students about how to extend our focus on environmental justice to more parts of our curriculum at Cornell and in E&S.

Please contact Environment & Sustainability program director, Matt Hare (mph75) or Environmental Humanities concentration chair, Caroline Levine (cel235) with additional courses that should be added to this list.
