Classes Taught
Critical Perspectives in Agriculture
We discussed equity, access, inclusion, and diversity in agricultural contexts. we focused on key concepts, issues, and policies that shape the experiences of marginalized populations in agricultural contexts, paying special attention to how power structures and identity shape the agricultural experience and way of life for marginalized populations.
Environmental Justice
We explored how historical and contemporary inequities and systemic oppressions impact marginalized people and their environments.
Environment in America
We explored concepts of nature largely from the latter third of the nineteenth century to the present. Through lecture, discussion, writing, and reading, we investigated the economic, social, intellectual, and cultural aspects within the evolving relationship between humans and nature.
