This course is on climate change, diving into both climate science and climate justice issues. Students will spend half of the class time learning about climate change through interactive activities and the other half of the class time creating a project of their choice to advocate for or communicate a climate justice issue of interest to them

This course is on environmental justice (EJ). Students would begin by learning about the history of the EJ movement and examine activist work for EJ nationally and globally. Then, students would research historical and present EJ issues in the Mid-Atlantic. The final 2 days of the course would be dedicated to each student creating a project of their choice to communicate an EJ issue in the region.
