EDU 435: Education and Environmental Justice

Number of Sections: 1 | Day and Time: T & TH (09:50-11:30 ICT)

Course Description

This course addresses not only environmental justice in Myanmar but also the need for educational pedagogy, personnel, resources, and strategy for environmental progress.  In Myanmar, environmental justice is but one among many “wicked problems,” which are understood to be existential challenges with contending interests, socio-economic-political complexity, requisite multidisciplinary knowledge and skills, limited resources, and citizen precarity.  Discerning an educational strategy that meets the challenge of a wicked problem—here, environmental justice—prepares Parami University students to engage social and educational needs competently and confidently.
