SOCY 185Environmental Inequality
Modern society not only assaults nature, it does so in ways that reproduce existing social inequalities. This course reviews three types of contemporary environmental inequality (environmental racism, displacement, and privilege), and the processes that produced them, with a focus on industrialization, urbanization, and the rise of capitalism in Europe and the United States.
Enrollment is restricted to junior and senior majors, proposed majors, and minors in sociology, community studies, digital justice studies (formerly GISES), environmental studies, and Latin American studies/sociology combined.
