EJ as scholarship: macalester's environmental studies curriculum

Our Project

This case study examines the history of environmental studies at Macalester, specifically in the context of teaching and learning environmental justice. We tie in themes of student activism as well as the broader context of the environmental justice movement and the first environmental justice program in higher education. The current question in Macalester's environmental studies department centers around how environmental justice should be incorporated into the curriculum and whether an environmental justice course should be required for the major. As you flip through this zine, reflect on your own experiences encountering environmental justice on campus and in classes.
