This course examines environmental racism in historic and contemporary settings, and links environmental racism to uneven burdens of disease and ill-health. This course operates with the assertion that environmental racism is real and a lived experience for many people worldwide. We will not debate the importance of social determinants, risk factors, or behaviors. Rather, we will investigate the historical, spatial, and socio-ecological processes (e.g. racial capitalism, white settler colonialism, stigmatization) that shape environmental racism and the uneven distribution of ill health and disease. We will also examine how people mediate these dynamics and work toward healing, well-being, and justice.
