PSC 285 Environmental Politics

Politics is about who gets what, when, and how. This course explores the ways in which environmental policies from different parts of the globe benefit some while harming others. Through hands on data collection techniques students explore the ways particular policies designed to promote environmental protections impact individuals. We also explore how a lack of environmental protections has consequences not just for flora and fauna but for humans. Students will learn to perform a cost/benefit analysis of environmental policies that takes into account residents of the impacted area and the world.
