CLQ 3191 C9/AR:Environment Community-based Art

This course will focus on philosophical and ethical literature within the preservationist and environmental justice movements. Students will examine the paradigm shift in the environmental justice movement from an emphasis on wilderness destruction and preservation to environmental racism and justice. Students will engage in art projects and attend nature field trips with elementary school students in an afterschool program to help them understand the importance of preserving both natural areas and whole ecosystems, as well as addressing environmental injustices in their own urban communities. Co-requisite CLQ 3190.
