An interdisciplinary course focused on the specific ways that human activity can lead to the accumulation, depletion, and alteration of chemicals in the environment, and the resulting effects of changed chemical levels on both the environment and the people who live in the environment. The intersection of environmental chemistry and social justice will be explored through an examination of the disparate ways in which members of different groups, both nationally and internationally, experience acute and/or chronic negative effects from living in degraded and contaminated environments. Supporting topics will include activism, environmental remediation, law and policy.
