ENVR 340 - Environmental Justice Narratives
3 Credit(s)
This course examines the concept of environmental justice, as well as the associated concepts of environmental racism and radioactive colonization, through an interdisciplinary lens. The environmental justice narratives we find in literature, nonfiction, and documental films will introduce environmental studies students to the experiences of marginalized oppressed, and overlooked individuals and communities contending with and responding to environmental harm, which comes to bear on such communities disproportionately. An examination of these narratives will moreover demonstrate to students that nature is not only found in “wilderness,” but also in the places where many of us live and work, and revise our understanding of “environment” showing that nature exists in National Parks and nuclear waste sites, wild rivers and mega-dams, industrialized food production and the human body. Ultimately, this course will illuminate for students the reality that environmental harm always comes to bear on human lives and that environmental challenges are inseparable from social issues and concerns.

ENVR 350 - Sustainable Development
3 Credit(s)
This course explores economic systems that support sustainable development and allow human prosperity to occur within planetary environmental limits. Sustainable development is defined as, “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” (UNCSD, Brutland Report) We are failing on both actions. We are not meeting the current needs of support for our own ecosystems and their human and nonhuman processes, and we are continually compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. This course will examine a model of strong sustainability, which includes the practices that integrate economic and social systems within the ecological systems required to support and maintain life on the planet.
Prerequisite(s): ENVR 110 OR ENVR 120

ENVR 360 - Equity and the Outdoors
3 Credit(s)
This course will introduce students to the concept of the “adventure gap,” which will illuminate the reality that individuals hailing from minority, indigenous, LGBTQIA, disabled and/or middle- and lower-class communities, among other marginalized communities, are underrepresented in outdoor recreation. In this course, we will investigate the ways in which majority communities have excluded marginalized individuals from the arena of outdoor and adventure recreation. We will, moreover, attend to shifting trends in contemporary outdoor recreation, wherein minority recreationalist and athletes are carving out a space for themselves in the able-bodied, white-male-dominated realm of outdoor recreation.
Prerequisite(s): ENVR 110 .
