Land Justice: Unearthing Histories & Seeding Liberation

Through readings, class discussions, direct interviews, peer reviews, and blog posts, this course grounds students in United States land histories, explores contemporary efforts towards food and land justice, and equips students with the frameworks to envision and work towards an equitable and just food and land management system, and greater environmental movement. Teams of students will have the opportunity to delve deeper into course concepts through direct engagement with our community partners. This course acknowledges the ways that historical and contemporary colonial violence, racism, and systemic injustice shape our food and land systems, while empowering students to envision and help build an equitable, just, sovereign, and healthy land future. Although this is an online course, there will be a strong emphasis on community engagement and in-class participation.
