Teaching Sustainably: Integrating Anti-racist Teaching Strategies Within an Environmental Justice Course

Abstract

This paper describes adaptations made to a course on Environmental Justice and Information Literacy taught during the pandemic to incorporate best practices in anti-racist teaching and discuss assessment of the research papers created by students using the University’s rubric for the general education sustainability requirement. The approach includes a class project: the creation of a student survey on various climate justice, sustainability, environmental justice and science literacy topics. A report on a pre/post survey on attitudes toward environmental issues taken by students before and after taking the course is also shared.
