Description
The social causes of contemporary environmental problems are underpinned by various forms of social inequality, including the unjust distribution of material resources and political power. This course focuses on the socio-economic, race/ethnicity and gender dimensions of inequality, from the local community through to the international arena. The course highlights the underlying social, political and economic processes associated with these issues.
