SOC 3029 Environmental Social Movements
This seminar examines various environmental movements through the analytic tools provided by social movement theorists. We will explore the reasons why environmental movements emerge, how activists organize themselves, the ways in which industry and the government oppose environmental movements, as well as the successes of environmental justice movements. We will pay special attention to the intersection of environmental injustices in terms of race, gender, class, and nation.
