This course introduces students to Environmental Justice (EJ) as a wide-ranging field of study and practice. We discuss different ways of defining “justice” and “the environment,” and how terms such as environmental justice and environmental racism have developed and been contested. We cover the emergence of environmental justice movements in the United States in historical and global context, as well as key approaches to theorizing EJ in relation to current debates (around topics such as disasters and climate change, the role of the state, research ethics, and multispecies justice). Environmental Justice is a field centered on the knowledge and experience of underrepresented groups. These groups have been excluded from "mainstream" environmentalism and environmental science. The Wikipedia assignment will allow students to contribute to building and broadening public knowledge of people, organizations, events, and places that have played a notable role in environmental justice activism, policy, and theory.

Resource: Editing Wikipedia, pages 7–9
Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.
You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.
Resources:
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace."
Resource: Editing Wikipedia, page 13
Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!
It's the final week to develop your article.
In class on March 14
Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading.
