Dear students,



We are increasingly aware that environmental pollution and access to
environmental resources are not equitable. 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.

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.
