InTeGrate is Pleased to Announce the Publication of a New Teaching Module: Environmental Justice and Freshwater Resources

Developed by Professor Adriana Perez, University of Texas-El Paso; Professor Jill S. Schneiderman, Vassar College; Meg Stewart, independent instructional technologist; and Professor Joshua Villalobos, El Paso Community College this two to three-week teaching module enables students to identify the freshwater components of the hydrologic cycle and connect them to the basic need of all human beings for equal access to clean freshwater. This is accomplished by framing the water science within theories of environmental justice defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as "the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies."Environmental Justice and Freshwater Resources is a great fit for courses in Earth science, environmental science, water resources, and introductory geoscience.
