Analyze Environmental Justice Case Studies and Policy

Environmental justice sits at the intersection of public health, social equity, and law, making it a critical field for modern policy analysis. This course equips you with the foundational understanding and analytical tools needed to deconstruct environmental justice issues, evaluate policy responses, and recognize the role of community advocacy in achieving equitable outcomes. You will learn how social movements have historically driven legislative change and how those lessons apply to modern challenges.
