EA 129 PZ -Environmental Law

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This environmental law class is taught from a liberal arts perspective. Its foundation is in law, government, politics, land use, and environment, but the course includes art, urban planning, and critical theory. We focus on the politics of place and how land use decisions are made, how they are deemed legal, how they create compounding inequities and injustices, and then are further subject to legal efforts. We then examine movements around countering injustices through legal means, utilizing creative and critical theory approaches. Students will grapple with a legal and planning system relic of a more stable environmental period, and we discuss how it is contested and constrained by planetary crisis.

Prerequisite(s): See the current course schedule for registration restrictions.
