Federal and state laws are catching up and making environmental justice a vital part of environmental planning and permitting. Faculty at the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs (SMEA) have years of experience conducting research and training students how to obtain in-depth information through interviewing, co-generate knowledge with community partners, including Native American Tribes and Nations, and use spatial analysis tools. We still have space in some of our Spring 2022 courses. Please forward this email to any interested students. *SMEA 512 Interviewing Methods and Environmental Topics* * (3 credits)* * Dr. Miller *Mondays and Wednesdays, 8:30 ? 9:50 am, MAR 168 Focuses on qualitative techniques employed by social scientists and other researchers (e.g., sociologists, cultural anthropologists, political scientists, journalists, reporters) in interview situations. Students conduct interviews and limited participant observation with people in public, private, and activist sectors. Relevant to students with interests in marine affairs, forestry, fisheries, and environmental studies. *SMEA 550 D, Community-Engaged Research Practicum (3 credits)* Dr. Woelfle Hazard Mondays, 10:00 am ? 12:50 pm, MAR 268 Introduces theoretical tools and practice tools in co-generating research with community partners, with a focus on partnerships with Native nations and communities on the front lines of environmental injustice. Students will practice skills and competencies needed to engage in community-led research partnerships including an understanding of power, willingness to grapple with legacy of ongoing white supremacy and settler colonialism, an analysis of how different forms of knowledge are valued and de-valued in different contexts, and the ability to listen across differences. *SMEA 586, Introduction to Spatial Data Manipulation and Visualization* * (3 credits) *Dr. *Jardine *Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:00 ? 10:20 am, MGH 030 Introduces available technologies for programmatic spatial data manipulation and visualization using the R software environment.
