This three-course certificate examines the ways in which communities of color and other historically marginalized groups are disproportionately burdened with environmental hazards. Grounded in the belief that access to safe and healthy living environments is a vital civil right, students will study topics such as racial identify development theory and the connections between structural oppression, interpersonal, and internalized oppression. Students will also study the knowledge, wisdom, resiliency, and leadership of communities of color and how their knowledge has contributed to mainstream movements for environmentalism. In the final course, students will have the opportunity to apply the histories, theories, and concepts studied in previous quarters to local environmental justice projects. This certificate is intended to support state workers seeking further background and training in WA state environmental justice laws (HEAL Act), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion administrators seeking greater skills in racial justice and Black studies, environmental policy advocates, urban planners and asset-based community developers, and those working in the nonprofit sector dealing with environmental issues
