Description of Desired Service:
This course will employ an intersectional analysis of the moral dimensions of environmental issues and problems and examine how and why environmental degradation and exploitation have posed an increased burden on the most marginalized members of the human community - minorities, people living in or near poverty, and people living in the developing world. The course will give particular attention to the role that religion has played and continues to play in the struggle for environmental justice.
