Smith Law Clinic and Center for Social Justice (540 Broadway), Rm. 304 Aimée K. Thomas, Ph.D.; [email protected]; Monroe Hall 560 Office Hours: by appointment via Email Class meetings January 4 - 15, 2021: MTWR Student’s Daily Class Preparation 8:00 - 10:00 a.m. MTWR Virtual Synchronous Class via Zoom 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. MTWR In-person experiential learning field trips 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. Course Description: This course provides an overview of the challenges in environmental justice and equity in Greater New Orleans area communities, particularly those identifying as BIPOC and/or low-income, low-access to resources. Students will learn critical thinking and advocacy, integrating doctrine, theory, and skills. This course combines field trips, lectures, discussions, readings, videos, and reflections. Through a review of case studies, media coverage, science, and academic pieces, we will explore issues including systemic socio-economic and racial discrimination, ongoing environmental injustices, inequality in access to basic resources like air, water, land, and food, and other current events and issues. Experiential learning field trips: This course includes a significant experiential component; there will be in-person, hands-on activities (with proper COVID precautions and social distancing). Students will learn and practice skills relative to becoming well-versed in the environmental injustices that are systemic in our culture. First-hand experiences in New Orleans will serve as the case study, but all issues will be transferable across the state, country, and world, thus adhering to the “Think globally, act locally” mantra.
