- Section Info:
- This course examines the social and environmental challenges faced by small-scale family farms in Latin America, South Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. The course begins with an overview of key themes critical for family farming, including land ownership and inheritance, labor access, access to information and markets, intra-household decision-making (including gender dynamics), community-based cooperatives, and the roles of aging and youth in farming communities. It then explores how these social factors intersect with environmental issues such as climate variability, water scarcity, biodiversity loss, crop diversity decline, and soil degradation. Throughout the course, students engage with real-world case studies from international contexts to analyze and compare approaches to addressing these challenges. This course is open to graduate students as well as juniors and seniors.

- Section Title:
- Illinois Environmental Law&Pol
- Section Info:
- In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of environmental law and policy as well as strategies to impact policy development and passage at the state and local level. Students in this course will learn legal research skills sufficient to find and understand key environmental laws and track and analyze bills under consideration by the state legislature. During the course, students will study bills and issues that are currently under consideration in the governmental body of their choice, but with a heavy focus on learning the dynamics of the Illinois state legislature. Students will not only analyze what elements are needed to pass policy sufficiently protective of the environment, but will also learn skills such as organizing, negotiation, and power analysis to understand the possibility of enacting the best environmental policies into law. Online scheduled class sessions require each student to have high speed internet access and either a headset with microphone or an external microphone and speakers so they may participate in the class discussions. Wireless internet is not recommended.
