Equitably Decommissioning Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles: Sonoma County Community Engagement

In this course we will explore how to quickly and equitably decommission ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles. We will address this issue from a local perspective through engagement with Sonoma County, where the instructors have connections, and from national and international perspectives. We will ask questions like: What are barriers to equitable decommissioning? What could reduce these barriers? What might unintended consequences be? Students will engage with stakeholders in Sonoma County and participate in a small team research project. Enrollment is capped at 8-10 students.
