ENST 178 - Political Theory, Environmental Justice: The Case of New Orleans After Katrina

Semester Offered: Spring
1/2 unit(s)

(Same as POLI 178) Hurricane Katrina flooded much of New Orleans, causing intense social and political problems within the city and testing the ability of citizens and governments to respond to the crisis. The course aims to interpret and evaluate those responses by reading past political theorists, such as Aristotle, Hobbes, and DuBois, and current evaluations, such as those based in concerns for environmental justice. Mr. Stillman.
