SPRING 2025
Instructor: Stevie Ruiz, Ph.D.

This course will provide students with the knowledge to understand how built environments,

ecological degradation, water privatization and land confiscation have structured racial inequality in the 20th and 21st centuries. We will examine the core theories and methods that environmental justice advocates have employed to contest racial, gendered, and class hierarchies. Graduate and undergraduate course credit.
