This module examines how knowledges produced through different scientific practices affect environmental decision making. It critically situates the histories of science and ethics that have shaped key environmental policies, such as those affecting resource conservation and sustainability. It examines how Indigenous, citizen, feminist, and ecological sciences have challenged the practices of dominant knowledge and policy frameworks. It covers multiple environmental topics at local and global scales through methods and workshops that equip students with concrete analytical tools and an expanded ethical repertoire.
