InTeGrate is Pleased to Announce the Publication of the Spanish Adaption of Environmental Justice and Freshwater Resources

Introducing Environmental Justice and Freshwater Resources - Spanish Adaptation, a teaching module that enables Spanish-language 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." Students articulate the principles of environmental justice as they relate to examples of water scarcity and contamination in specific cases in Latin American and the Southwest U.S.

Spanish adaptation by Ruth Hoff, Wittenberg University, this two to three-week teaching module is a great fit for Spanish language courses in environmental studies, global change, human rights, and contemporary issues.
