Strengthen your skills for effective conservation as you learn environmental justice principles and practice in this online course.
DESCRIPTION:
This course examines the intersection of justice and equity with conservation practice, policy, and research. Through an interdisciplinary lens, students will explore how environmental harms and benefits are distributed, whose voices are recognized in decision-making, and how systems of power shape ecological outcomes. Beginning with the foundations of environmental justice, the course introduces key dimensions of justice, including distributive, procedural, recognitional, structural, and ecological justice, and investigates how these concepts apply to complex conservation challenges.
As the course progresses, students will explore the historical and ongoing impacts of structural inequality, the ethics of participation and consent, and the role of Indigenous and local knowledge in shaping conservation alternatives. Case-based analysis and applied assignments help students critically assess mainstream conservation approaches, engage with participatory planning frameworks, and design more inclusive and accountable strategies. The final module brings these threads together through a justice-driven action plan that allows students to apply what they have learned to real-world conservation contexts.
DATES:
Winter: January 4 - March 30, 2026
PRICE:
From $425 for students/unemployed; $525 currently employed
(Early bird ends December 7th--Save $75!)
