Jill Schneiderman: Using Environmental Justice and Freshwater Resources in Earth Science and Environmental Justice at Vassar College
This course offers an exploration of the roles that class, gender and race play in contemporary environmental issues and the Earth science that underlies such issues. We also examine the power of science, corporations and governments to influence the physical and human environment. We critique the traditional environmental movement, study cases of environmental injustice, and come to appreciate how basic geological knowledge can assist communities in creating healthful surroundings for all living beings. Examples come from urban and rural settings in the United States and abroad and are informed by feminist analysis.

Jennifer Sliko: Using Cli-Fi in Planet Earth at Pennsylvania State University - Harrisburg
Planet Earth is an introductory course about Earth, with emphasis on the processes the affect the landscape of Earth. Students learn about fundamental geologic processes and how they impact humans and the environment on regional and global scales. Some of these processes are slow, such as the movements of continents, and change Earth over a period of millions of years. Others are rapid, such as earthquakes and floods. Students learn how these processes are related and interact with each other.
