Specializations

Communication and behavior change focuses on how best to communicate environmental, science and risk information to public audiences. Course work offers opportunities to understand what motivates individuals to act to protect the environment and how best to frame information to engage the public in pro-environmental behavior.

Environmental and social justice focuses on the local and global inequality in access to and control over resources, the impact this has on livelihoods, and how corporations and policies can contribute to both solutions and problems faced by disadvantaged populations. Course work offers opportunities to understand social inequality in specific contexts, to gain knowledge about globalization’s impacts on local development and livelihood strategies, and to better understand the relationship between socioeconomic status (e.g. race, gender, class) and the environment.
